Help us!!! We're drowning!

Wow, we have had over 2 weeks of rain, and can hardly remember what the sun looks like anymore. With all the rain we’ve had a tough time with flooding, and in a community in which we work, a mother and daughter died trying to cross a river, on a horse, no less. Many houses here in Matagalpa have been flooded by the river that encircles the city, and many towns were inaccessible for several days due to engorged streams and rivers. It can be a bit trickier to dry clothes without a dryer during such rainy times, but we are lucky enough to have some roof overhang, under which we hang the clothes. Many others string rope throughout their house, and you simply duck around the rows of wet clothes as you meander through the house.

Oh Yes, I remember those days. Drying diapers, especially padded ones, is an absolute nightmare during heavy rain times. Cameron wore more damp diapers during Mitch and the rains in Honduras. I'm glad you have a little overhang for drying.
