bad juju?!?!

i dont know what it is about this past week but chris and i must have brought some bad juju with us...first the roof leaks and now we have no water in our house!!!! a water pipe across the street from our house busted and now we have no water in the house....but we have plenty of water flooding our yard and the street! I had no idea who to call or what to do. Chris had to go to work and seira and dewey were both at work too...I was here alone trying my best to figure out what to do so we could have water, and our internet was not working either so the only number i could find was for the police station, so i called and was spoken to in spanish and had no idea what they were asking but i asked if he spoke english and he said very little and then said "just talk to me" so i explained our issue and he said he would send patrol over. so a patrol car drove by and i flagged them down and explained to them again what happened and they took a look at it quickly and then adios! But nothing has been fixed yet and this all started on saturday morning. We woke up this morning and still no water and even more flooding in the yard. But we met one of our neighbors whose house is right behind where the pipe was broken and he said that he had called the mayor! i guess thats one way to do it! and he said it should be done by today. But still no water!
Chris and i went to a kids birthday pool party today (no we were not being creepers we were invited! ) we went to meet a friend of chris' family who has lived on the island for 8 years. Sarah Cook and her two kids and her husband Scott. We decided to walk to the party instead of getting a ride....big mistake....we got directions as if we were coming from town, so we had to walk from the house to town and then to the party which ended up actually being only a couple minutes away from our house...but it was soooooo hot, like the hottest i have ever been, we were melting...and we got lost, had run out of water in my pack, but we finally found it and were so excited we high five'd in the middle of the road! :) Sarah met us at the gate and walked us in and told us where there was cold beer, rum and cold water, we both dove into a bottle of water each and then got in the pool! it was soooo nice! We got to meet a bunch of people and talked with sarah for a while. It was great to meet everyone there, we met a woman who was telling her story about how she got here, she moved here when she was 23 and was only going to stay for about 4-6 months and has been here for 19 years.....chris and i are both 23 and we are planning to stay for 4-6 months....i looked at chris and said we are going home!! haha it was funny to hear how similar her story was to ours but mom dont worry i am coming home! :)
we had a great time at the pool party and it was great to meet sarah and her kids and to know that we have some friends here who know the ways of the island!!
here are some pictures i took along the way there, which was a beautiful walk!

there are some really cool houses too!! the bravos boys own the cool ones and rent them out super cool!!

ill post more pictures of some other ones later! :)
