no school

So, Noel is here and has made himself comfortable. The rain has just been crazy. We ended up canceling classes today because of the inclement weather. It just poured and poured. This morning water started flooding into our bedroom from the balcony door. There is a drain, but it was clogged, so water kept collecting outside and therefore decided to pay us a visit. Fortunately we were able to unclog the drain on the balcony so water stopped coming into our room.

We are all safe here, just lots of rain. I had mentioned to many of you before that this part of the island only receives the rain when hurricanes and tropical storms pass by. We did have to cancel class today though. This however did not prevent me from leaving the house nor from getting work done, we made a couple trips to the hardware and grocery store and cleaned the whole house top to bottom.

Below is a link updated on Noel's progress here in the DR, the capital was the area most affected by the storm (about 5 hours from us).
