and it rained for 40 days and 40 nights

or so it seems - just like home except here you really hear it. people will point to the sky and say agua (water), you hear a roar and then you see a wall of water advancing toward you. everyone runs for cover but it's usually so hot that a cool shower might feel good except that if you don't have an umbrella you are totally soaked and look like a drowned rat in 2 seconds. the boys played in it today - 3 games - the field is totally wrecked, now it's just a mud hole.

if the music isn't too loud you hear the roar and then you run to take all the clothes off the line.

i really don't know where all the water goes, we've had so much there should be floods but there aren't.

wait for dry season.. it will be coming soon... it starts about xmas time... then you'll see the ground so dry, all the grass dies and they'll sprinkle the ground with water just to keep the dirt down.... have fun sweeping the house
