The road in front of the BLC got really washed out during rainy season and was pretty difficult to get around, so we were initially really glad to see the big truck bringing in loads of dirt and rock to fix it. Until...
That electric pole should NOT be at that angle. Big truck took it out. There is a hint of smoke in the bottom left corner of the photo because the broken lines were on fire in the trees. Exciting for sure.
After the gringos persuaded the Bolivians it was not a good idea to have the kids help throw a rope over the line and pull it down, we ran out to buy candles for the evening. It would be nearly 3 hours before the electric company would even show up. Just before midnight, the lights came back on.
Now we have a nice new concrete pole.
And our road is better.
I guess it was all worth one candle light dinner!
