So they told me about rainy season and how it lasts all of September and part of October. I thought I experienced a rainy season in Mexico when it rained like every other day for about 45 minutes. Well, here it has rained for 12 straight days at least 3 times a day.
To give you perspective... Today it was raining, and I had, at most, a 15 foot run to the truck, and in those 15 feet, I fell in two puddles up to my calf that covered the bottom half of my body in water and the minimum of 5 gallons that fell on my head and soaked my t-shirt. After making the same run back into my house, I had to change all my clothes to get dry.
Last night, a storm woke me up at 1AM and 4AM. 3 straight hours of serious down pour and when I went to look at my hole in the morning that I was almost finished with... it was more than 3/4 full of water and the force of all that water running down the hill knocked one wall
down.
After pulling out close to 75 buckets of water, we had another 50 buckets of dirt and broken block we had to pull out of the hole. Needless to say, work here is ridiculously slow and something ALWAYS goes wrong.
