President re-elected

Leonel Fernandez, the current President, was re-elected yesterday. He has called for 2 days of celebrations - today and tomorrow. The streets will certainly be full again today with loud music, flag-waving, dragging tin cans, and dancing to celebrate the win. We are going to play it safe and not venture out. We'll see what it's like tomorrow when we make our way to church.

We were told by a friend who works for the electric company that we were to have 3 days of solid electricity - Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. So far it has been true. The electric has not gone out since Thursday. This is the best part of elections for us! :-) It was sooooo nice to be able to start my laundry right away yesterday morning instead of waiting till 10:00 a.m. when the electric normally comes back on.

We turned our invertor off expecting not to need it till Monday. They should have elections more often. :-)
