The title says all! After days of dry lightening last night at 1030 pm I heard it...faint raindrops! Exciting for the simple reason theres been no rain here for 8 months! After a few minutes it came down hard!!!!! The Aussie surfers all popped out and into the palapa for beers to cheer it on. And the temp. dropped a glorious 10 degrees instantly.
And tho I too came out and joined in the cheers i soon realized this was perfect sleeping weather and retired. As i walked down the steps a huge toad jumped out and we stared each other down in the deluge..myself perfectly happy to be getting soaked to the bone!
And this morning over a pot of coffee well before anyone else is stirring i snapped pictures of the 30 or so frogs making ungodly geese-type honking noises in the now way overfull pool. 3 inches of rain in 2 hours means new animals coming out of hiding and a freshness in the air that leaves me feeling slightly voyueristic as i soak it all in. I can only hope that this is the start of the 2 hour downpours so common in the sub tropics! On that note I will post a few pictures then go for a walk. Seems a new day has begun!
Hasta pronto a todos
