Road Update

It has been a busy week on our road. We have received several emails asking if our road was finished or not. It hadn't been touched - until this week.

On Monday, a big roller came out and rolled the side with all of the stones. We anticipated tarmac or something. I had wondered what would happen because a huge section of stone went missing a few weeks ago - maybe somebody had a building project going on - I don't know. Anyway, the roller was unperturbed by the missing section and just knocked the sharp edges down. Nothing else happened from Monday to Saturday.

Tonight, however, they delivered three big piles of stones to the other side of the road. I imagine they will begin making smaller stones this week. Maybe in a month or two we will have a finished road. Every time we leave the compound, Lexi asks, "Are we going on the bumpy road?" There are no other options.

Here are some new pictures for your enjoyment.

P.S. We have also had several emails from you "cheeky little blighters" regarding an update on the diarrhea...let's just say it is running along smoothly.
