Dave experiences being a fire man! Last week we were warned of the dangers of the dry season (it's currently winter which means we have no rain), today, we experienced it. When it's hot and dry, and the favela kids are bored, they decide to set fire to the field at the bottom of the lighthouse grounds. They are kind enough to knock on the door and let us know if we don't notice. Then, whilst we are madly running backwards and forwards with buckets of water, they are sitting on their roofs and watching. It's not done because they don't like this place, but purely for entertainment. Thankfully the fire was under control fairly quickly, and we managed to prevent any trees from catching alight.
