While all of you higher up in the Northern Hemisphere are preparing for delightful warm weather and long sunny days....we on the other hand are preparing for storms and downpours. The dry season has passed and we are now experiencing the wet season here. Typically we have a storm in the afternoon or during the night, but it's dry and sunny during the morning. This schedule allows us time to dry a load of laundry quick before the next downpour. Phew!
This rain is not like the London or Portland cold continual drizzle. We get crazy loud thunder and huge bolts of lightning flashing across the sky. Very fun and exciting!!! It also doesn't get particularly cold either, which is very nice. These storms can be quite the pain though, since we walk everywhere and occasionally get caught in storms. We also live at the bottom of a hill, so our road can turn into a flowing river quite quickly. And, until recently we had heavy flow into our house as well. Yikes! Luckily our roof was fixed a few weeks ago, and therefore is not raining NEARLY as much as before...but still seeps in under the door and through other spots. But, what are ya gonna do? Welcome to Guatemala!
