Hummm, maybe the dry season has come? It “should” end sometime in December or so we have heard. But last week, it started raining on Tuesday and just didn’t stop. The rain reminded me of those tropical sound machines you can get. Just a beautiful steady rain. But four days was a bit much. Then it stopped Friday evening all of a sudden, humidity left, winds started blowing steadily and it was drop dead beautiful outside on Saturday. People have told me that was the “sign”. They have also said that after a couple months of the dry season, you really pray for rain, yet it doesn’t come again until May.
We went to a Christmas tree decorating party Friday night. It was the first time I have ever done that in shorts and sandals. I must admit, it was great. Then to wake up and see the “gadget” on my computer saying the weather was cold and snowy in Cincinnati, it had to make me smile.
After church today, we went exploring trying to find places to take the kids when they come in a couple of weeks. We took a few hikes through the jungle. The jungle never ceases to amaze me. The beauty of it is overwhelming. Did spot one monkey, although it was a small one. I was anxious to come because I would live so close to the beach. Now, the jungle is what I find so fascinating.
How about the last few days? All this rain + they closed the Canal for only the second time in history. We're practically freezing. I put on socks today and turned off all the ceiling fans. Slept under covers last night (and will, again, tonight)for the first time in the City. Haven't slept undercover since being in the mountains. Br-r-r-r. (Quite pleasant, actually--if the rain wasn't continually dripping thru our kitchen ceiling. At least it's not snowing!!)
