Good bye Earl

Earl had to die...Our first hurricane in the tropics was exciting, all the Saban locals were like busy little beavers preparing for the storm and then cleaning up afterwards. Earl was very windy and rainy, but besides a little flooding at our back door (which I helped by cleaning out the gutters during the storm)...We were living in the lap of luxury compared to many people on the island. Our apartment has a generator, so the people who own the building lets us use it for most of the day during meals times especially. They actually hosted a dinner party for us and our other friends, Joel and Anne. It was delicious. The next day the boys, Nathan and Joel headed off to school but returned home as there were no profs and hardly any students. As most were stuck in st. martin due to the storm so they have a few days extra vacation. Although they are going to probably make up the time on the weekend:(
