Rolling Blackouts

Well, in addition to our poor internet connection at home, we are now scheduling our internet and computer time around nationwide rolling blackouts. Apparently there is a severe drought in the northern regions and the hydroelectric dam is super low. This means that there is a shortage of electricity and all of us must share the burden. Unfortunately we never really know when it will hit. Without that magic electric shower device, it can make for some cold bathing. It is possible that these rolling blackouts will last until December when the rainy season begins. We wonder what the impact will be on the economy of Ecuador.
