Unable to go out Wednesday

The strike was more of a pain for us today because we do go out Wednesday afternoons for baseball practice and to check on small business things. The roads are still blocked and no busses, taxis, etc are running. Knowing that we wouldn't need the truck, we got them to take their time and fix a few other minor things.

We met down at the Gables and did what we could up until noon with emails and phone calls as a group. Scarleth and I are working on getting together more information for the adopt-a-family part of the NewSong website.

In the evening, I went to visit Eveling and Alejandra. Their uncle, Juan, age 25 is a taxi driver and works the 7pm - 7am shift so I have seen him, but never really talked with him. He was there and bored without work like me so we talked for a while about basketball, football, etc. He told me that he does not think the strike will go longer than a week, but does not know for sure.

We are hoping to get the truck in the morning and be able to go out to the village, we have plenty of work to catch-up in Leon, but after 3 days stuck here we are all ready to go out and be with the kids.
