Update on Fridge

Saturday our landlord sent the repair guy over for the fridge. Since Michelle was the only one up, she got to play charades with the repairman who spoke no English. Finally, we concluded that by crossing out the motor, the guy meant it no longer works. Our landlord came back later and told us the motor is broken and it will take four hours to fix it! What?! When do we have four spare hours to sit around and watch a repairman fix our fridge. So, until then, we are using the window sill of the kitchen to keep things cold. It is definitely colder than our broken fridge will be any time soon (and maybe colder than it ever was in the first place).
In other news, our "drying room/porch" is having a windowsill water problem. The condensation from the windows flooded the windowsill and went down the wall causing major water damage to our beautifully white-washed cement finish. Bummer. One more thing to add to the ongoing list of apartment flaws. At least now our breaker stays on during the night (well, four out of five nights ain't bad).
