Oaxaca, Mexico
Good: Rain.
Bad: Rain.
Surprising: Rain.
It has been raining in the afternoons and into the evening. Torrential down pours. Walk-through-a-foot-of-water-puddles rain. It is great because it cools things off. It is bad because we get soaking, and I mean soaking, wet. Surprising because many people stand around inside waiting for it to end. Two days ago I waited with folks at the grocery store, all of us lined up in a queue, under an overhang. After about 20 minutes I got tired of waiting. I reminded myself that I voluntarily step into this very substance nearly every day, that I would not melt, and that I would only look a little foolish slogging through the downpour. Last night we all got caught (see photo). You may ask yourself-do they have rain gear? Well...we did bring rain jackets, but they just do not provide full protection with this sort of rain, so we have not bothered to pull them out. We may have to invest in umbrellas if this keeps up.
