We had a big rainstorm on the river Wednesday night, with some minor damage to the docks here and at the marina next door.  The boats were all fine.

Yesterday we were back at Casa Guatemala to volunteer.  As usual we spent most of the time standing around chatting.  Local people manage the place, augmented by young volunteer teachers from other parts of the world.  

Lorenzo's been able to help out by doing little construction projects- patching up plumbing and carpentry.  But most of the buildings are threatening to fall on their heads, so he's always uneasy.

The kids are pretty undisciplined, so it's hard for me to just walk in there and do art with them.  Whatever you're saying to them, they'd rather be playing ball!
