Typhoon Days!

There are no fog delays or snow days in the Philippines, but there are typhoon days!

It is still rainy season, and we have had 3 days of school cancelled so far due to typhoons. A typhoon is a tropical storm. The most recent typhoon was last Wednesday. The teachers and some of the students had already arrived at the school before it was cancelled. We got very wet on the way back to our apartment!

Here are some pictures from that day:


This is the stairway leading to the main entrance of the school.


It looked a little like a river!


We found some flip-flops at the bottom of the steps
the next day that had fallen off of people who walked
up the steps during the storm!

A local basketball court.

The road leading to the beach. No swimming today!
 
Many of the roads were flooded.



It was hard to find an empty trike because most
people wanted a ride to get out of the rain!


More to come soon from Boracay Island...
