quiet day

It's been a quiet day for us. It's a few minutes after 3pm. It's raining a bit here, because the rainy season is due soon. The strike obviously continues because there are still no taxis on the street. There are more advisories from the missionary community and the embassy not to leave home, to have food in the house, to pack a travel bag, and the embassy suggests short-term visitors leave when possible. We saw a couple of guys in camos with guns standing around by the road when we walked across the road here to CTC; you see guys like this out checking papers at night, but not usually during the day. No real news from the neighbors, and no phone calls from our RELUFA friends to warn us about any new developments, so maybe things are quieting down.
