The "good" detour road was very muddy and full of potholes. I skidded a few times (not an ideal vehicle for this country), went off the road once, and got stuck in the mud once. But I made it, and only an hour late! I wasn't the only one just arriving so I felt better about it. The rain makes the roads so impassible that they do what I would call "meeting cramming" during rainy season. All meetings are at once so when you make it, it's like a mini assembly yay! It appeared confusing to me that they had mikes in such a small hall until I heard the roar of the fans. The roar!! And don't you guys worry, I met a super nice family that has a car and we made arrangements for them to take me when the roads are passable.

Meetings and the like
So getting to meetings is Not at all what I thought it would be. The map said 3-5 miles, but little did I know that would not be as simple as it sounds. First of all, my idea of road and the map's idea of road differ greatly. There is a big river in the middle of the road, and bridges are nonexistent. Note here-the river is deep due to rainy season and alligators live here. Also, if I want to find a road that has a bridge, I have to detour several miles. So, my temporary solution is this.....
