Power...do you really need it?

Did I happen to mention that on Sunday evening the power went out? I was watching the program about the end of the world according to the Mayan calendar and we were almost thru and the world went black...and here it really goes black. Power was out on the whole island.
They said that there were candles incase of power outages so it must not be too uncommon. Hum...no matches though. We used our cell phones to get around. They work really well in a power outage.
The next day the power went out around 7:45 am and no one really worried about it. I thought that I'd hear some complaining from the guests but nope, life just went on. We couldn't use the water from the well because the purification system is electric but we already had water in the fridge.
They said the power would be back on around 1:00, 1:;30, 3:00 and it came on around 3:15. The water must be instant hot here because it was out immediately and came back on immediately.
