Droughts on the coast

(above a photo of the river recently, its now a soccer field, below a view of the river a year in a half ago fromthe same angle of the bridge)

Three years ago (the year before I got to Arenillas), the river was actually so high that kids would jump off the bridge into the river. Two years ago the water was still high enough that while at the river with my youth group, we could climb the boulder rocks and jump into the river. One year ago, the river started to become shallower and was only hip deep. This year while I was back in Arenillas visiting, the river was pathetically low, probably ranging between ankle and knee deep. What was once part of the river when I first moved to Arenillas is now dry land, and has been made into a dirt soccer field. Scary reality of how fast we are losing some of our natural resources because of weather changes and droughts.
