Sunday Ramble In last week’s Ramble, I jinxed myself in my glee at missing the huayco while we were in Brazil. Just yesterday, my daughter and I got caught in the flash flood as we tried to make our way back home via moto-taxi, rain pouring in through the open sides. The moto pulled up abruptly in front of a raging creek passing into the river we live near. The stream was supposed to be the road. However, I saw a local braving it, water lapping at his shorts, and it encouraged me to try as well — we were only a scant 500m from home. One trip across gave me the confidence to try again with our groceries and then a final time with my 3-year-old. It was either brave or stupid, but we survived.
War! What is it Good For?
