Power Company in Las Terrenas
Gosh and I thought that I lived in a quiet town...
Everybody was told in the new bill that they did not pay last month electricity bill, even if (as I) paid it. This might have lead to the huelga. Seems like the worst moment for this as administration is being taken over and reparation might take a long time. With all the police swarming the streets I think the coming nights will be quiet.

Counterproductive Riot
.... and money, too.

First Victim of the Riot
But wait, there is more:
One of our farm hands just called us and said someone up here in Los Puentes was cutting a big mango tree near the road in order to block it.*

realize that's a rather dumb question; however, I'm in the states and trying to decide what to do about our guests arriving tomorrow... we don't have a generator! Thanks-

Thanks-So sorry to read of these troubles in LT. I hope things are resolved quickly & peacefully for all of you there.
Still wrapping my head around how destruction of poles during rioting will not bring a solution, but only higher costs for all down the road, as mentioned in others' posts
DonP you graciously invited us to your finca last March. We didn't manage to connect...but I'm happy to know you're safe in the hills. With solar

Called my friend Annette, finally realizing that I should perhaps invite her and the kids to come here as they might not have water in a couple of days.. and she said that they ALREADY did not have water. They live in the center of town. But she says that they really are expecting that power will be restored by tomorrow. We did not talk long as I did not want to run down her cell phone.. but she said something about the folks feeling that they simply were not gong to get justice from the police and being fed up.
and then that Orsini still had the repair trucks and was trying to effect repairs.

Someone on that link said she was told to go home at 3:30 due to another planned strike. Are they burning things again in Las Terrenas tonight?
