The heat, I can't stand the heat

Here is a map of Puerto Rico. It might help better understand the where I was staying and stuff: http://topuertorico.org/exploring.shtml

My stay in Puerto Rico has definitely been an experience. I have various mosquito bites. I haven't been able to get a clear internet connection until today (at my cousin's house) in Vega Baja, north of where I've been staying, Ciales.

My hair is a mess because I haven't been able to use a blow dryer. Its soooo hot that to use a hair dryer is like if I was in a sauna. I have been letting my hair air dry but its not the same thing. The mosquitos are killer, they bite me where I don't put on repellent; my stomach, my feet where the sandal is open and the back of leg (its covered because I am in jeans).

There was no water on two occasions because vandals stole the copper used in the main aqua duct connections. I told this to my husband who laughed and asked if the vandals where perhaps working for Carmen Sandiego (ha!). From what I understand there is a huge resevior that pumps water through aquaducts thereby providing water to the various cities and towns. Ciales where I was staying gets its water from Manatí, located north from us which makes sense because its located near the shore.
