It absolutely poured down rain today, which just means more flooding down in the village. It took Gillian an extra 20 minutes to get home from school because she had to reroute herself a couple of times. I took pictures to show how bad the flooding is.. hopefully you can tell a little bit better from these pictures. Look for the tree line (which is where the water usually stops). Its only supposed to get worse because all the rain that has happened up in Kerry is supposed to be coming down the river towards us. They say its the worse flooding in this area in the current population's history. Tomorrow WAS supposed to be a dry day but now the forecast is calling for more rain. Its funny how differently I view rain now. I just kind of expect it rather than dread it like I used to.
In other news, I booked a flight to Brussels, Belgium today! I'll be going with five of the other au pairs. I'm really excited about the group because I find four of them very, very easy to get along with (theres a bit of a language barrier with the other one!) Apparently the Christmas market in Brussels is incredible- that was the main purpose of this trip. Flights were incredibly cheap. We're going the weekend before Christmas (Dec. 18th-20th). A girl I worked with at the Spa now lives in Belgium (but goes to school in the US), so hopefully she will be "home" for Christmas and I can meet up with her!
