It is absolutely pouring rain, but all is good! One of the advantages of living on the side of a volcano is that the water doesn´t really get to accumulate, it runs down to the valley. Now, Antigua might be in trouble . . .

So, you all remember that we no longer have a bed, right? Well, we might not ever have our bed back again. Which sucks, but kind of makes sense. Here´s the story:
