Zap!

Mexico also bring with it a series of challanges, as we're finding out!  For the past week we have been having electrical issues with our casa.  I think I mentioned in one of my earlier posts that Greg had a voltage regulator installed to handle power surges............well,so much for that idea!  One day last week during a storm the power went out and since then we have had either no power or half power throughout the house.  The voltage regulator is now disconnected while they try and determine what the problem is .  We've had a series of electricans here trying to determine what the problem is.  We've been advised to change our service from 110 to 220!  So, now we wait for CFE (mexico hydro)  to come and install a new meter at the road for us.  Our wonderful neighbours Wess & Marty have been kind enough to throw an extension cord over the fence for us to be able to operate our fridge and water pump!  Hopefully in a few days this adventure will be behind us and we can get back to normal here.  Power is a big challange during the rainy/stormy season as we're finding out.  But, with everything there is the good, and the not so good.   This would qualify as "the not so good".  Patience required!
