Weather

Saturday, June 9

I'm taking advantage of having the internet connection back to catch up on stuff. It looks like the rainy season has truly started. We had the storm a few nights ago about the time we went to bed. Then, about 4 am this morning, we woke up to a tremendous storm with a huge downpour, lots of thunder and lightning. The storm clouds build up behind the mountains south across the lake, then move north. The amazing thing is that everyone says it rarely rains during the day, most always at night. This morning we went into the village and there were puddles and mud among the cobblestones instead of dusty streets. It was very cool when we got up this morning and we slept under a blanket last night. I put on a light jacket when we got up and checked the thermometer which was just under 70. Now it's still only about 75, very pleasant. There's a light cloud cover with glimpses of blue straight above. It's the first cloudy day we've seen.
