A Day Without Electricity

Yesterday at about 3am the electricity from KM 38 to Pucallpa was out until about midnight last night.  We
don´t use electricity a lot so that wasn´t an issue, but we do need electricity so that we can pump water to drink and to cook with. For about half of the day yesterday we were without water.  We made the best of it. We actually had a lot of fun! When night came we lit candles and us girls sat around the table and told stories about friends or things we used to do as kids and we read books we each had brought. Rachel and I also made some super delicious oatmeal and peanut butter cookies! It worked because we have a gas stove and you don´t need water to make them. They were so good!  Also, since the spot lots were out at the base we were all outside and took these really cool pictures with our headlamps! Hanna set her camera so that the shutter would stay open for  
20 seconds and we drew letters and pictures with our lights. I´ll have to post a picture on this blog when I get a chance.
