Travel problems persisted into today. The weather really wrecked havoc. Ten people have been reported to have died from the wind knocking over trees and walls.
The trains were running only partially this morning. We were only able to go about two train stations and then had to board buses for the rest of the trip. I had left early anticipating the possiblity of problems but also because of deadlines at work.
The bus wended it's way to each station along the train line letting people off and on. I really got to see the smaller towns and some country. I would say 95% of the buildings are brick and the other 5% are stucko. Not a single wood-frame house to be found. Spade, you wouldn't have much work here if you were still building homes.
It is very very green because of all the rain since last year. They were actually in a drought and restrictions in some locations were just lifted this week.
