When you call the hotel front desk and tell them that there's water in the bathroom, they wonder why you're calling. But when you say that the water is coming from the ceiling and the window frame, the concierge is on his way! By the time he was upstairs, there was a flood on the bathroom floor from the rain coming in. The only solution - "start packing. You have to change rooms". He moved us down the hall. Hopefully we won't have any more flooding in this room as we're still on the upper floor.
At the program, I was the first staff member to arrive. It was quite a challenge to communicate with the boys, but I did manage to tell them that Andrea had gone to Addis Ababa (to accompany a cancer patient). I just hoped I wouldn't be on my own for too long! Fortunately the other staff members arrived and we continued the program as planned.
Dave had a full day today as they held classes both in the morning and afternoon. Just to add a wrinkle into everything he had to come back to the hotel over the lunch hour to collect a missing cable.
