Still Raining

Hello again. Things have not improved. We are still at the hotel. The first stage has been cancelled. No one is sure if the race can go on because the ground is so wet they think they cant get the trucks into the bivouacs. Also much of the course is along 'dry' riverbeds that are of course no longer dry but raging torrents. The race organisers are saying that they will do all they can to keep the race going, but I have just heard that there is more rain about to roll into town, so I think we are all about to cry. As you can i,agine, it is EXTREMELY dissappointing to say the least. I will try to keep you updated as we find out more. Sorry if the punctuation is a bit wierd. The french/arabic keyboard is very confusing.
