Big Machines

LA MAQUINA! LA MAQUINA!

So... La Via (the street where I live and work) has been taken over by giant machines (máquinas). It's basically like every little kids fantasy to have these giant bulldozers and cranes and stuff outside their school, and it's basically every teacher's worst nightmare because the kids won't listen to a word you say! (and the sheer noise gives us all major headaches...)

The government has started a project of paving La Via and putting in a water system (I think). Let's just say it's a GIANT project. Currently the land between the two schools (kinder and primaria) is a huge hole with lots of machines working on it...not an ideal school environment. Supposedly by the middle of December this project will be done, but that's about 3 months of disaster zone! Also, a lot of houses (including where I live) are going to have to make their houses stick out less into the street so that the street can be the right width ... which means the front of my house is basically going to be torn off and left totally open, then it's up to us (well, my family) to get it fixed. right. good luck.

right now the Via is just a disaster. you can hardly pass through it. people are trying to make their houses so that they aren't torn into. and yeah, it's just a bit crazy right now! and will stay this way for quite some time...should be interesting ...
