Can’t grade the tosca (“dirt” ) roads until they dry out. Meanwhile, a challenge to drive. Or walk. Unless you’re a dog.
Yuck.

“If at first you don’t succeed” redux
Ah yes, has only been a few days since I posted about an obvious bit of bad planning.
Looking back toward where I took that picture, you can see that it subsequently occurred to someone to make a clean-out access.
My “redux” refers to another 7-day wonder a few blocks up. See here and here.
*Sigh.* At least they tried to fix it.
Another engineering FAIL
Beyond the corner, the builders buried about 50 meters of culvert, inaccessible except from either end, eliminating the drainage ditch. I could have told them this was a bad idea. A few days later, I didn’t need to. Simply demonstrates that the private sector can match the incompetence of the public sector.
UPDATE: rain damage
A substantial portion of the Rambla (beach road) washed away, and as soon as the rain paused, everyone wanted to see it. It’s not the first time, but the worst I’ve seen.
At a parking area now completely unusable, water pouring through and over the boardwalk.
Heading home.
