Weather

My Mom suggested I talk about the weather, since I have been falling down on the blogging lately.  This will be a short post, I should have time to make a longer one tomorrow, but I need to finish this one and post it before the internet goes down.

The weather is supposed to be in the rainy season at this point.  I say supposed to because it has been hot the last week or so.  We had one day last Friday when it rained and was cloudy for a fair amount of the day.  Then Saturday it was hot again, though in the early evening there was some impressive lightning and thunder and rain, but it only lasted for a little bit.

We'll see if the weather starts to turn rainy over the next few days. While this heat is tiring, at the same time I'm not really excited for days of rain so hard I have to yell in the classroom to be heard.  Well, I did get to avoid most of the winter and will be avoiding the beginning of this coming winter, so I really can't complain.

    Peter,

    Your description of the storm on Saturday didn't describe how suddenly it blew up and how lound the thunder sounded all the way through the skype computer connection. Because the cafe you were in is open at the sides we could hear heavy rain for the rest of our conversation. I'm glad it didn't last two long at that intensity.
    Mom
