I’ve been here for 21 days (3weeks) now, and it has rained EVERY SINGLE DAY. It hasn’t rained all day everyday – infact most days are pretty sunny and beautiful – but then all of a sudden, out of the blue it’s pouring. As they say here “eedeh dowshch”. the rain doesn’t bother me – it’s only water, but it seems like everyone here walks around with a concealed umbrella at all times; like Americans and their guns, you’ll never quite know when one is necessary!! I remember the 2nd day I was were it was pouring ran and Tanya ran from her building to mine (like a 20 min walk through the MUD or “bullotto”)to ensure that I had an umbrella for the journey home… she so sweet, and she was so wet. But to be completely and utterly honest, I have this strange phobia of umbrellas: they freak me out – big time. So, as long as I’m here I’ll stick out like the foreigner that I am, and stand in the rain without a “parasoliya”
I went to the celo (village) a few weeks ago (post coming soon) and there was this CRAZY hail storm.... here is a picture, and a video (turn up your volume because it sounds as impressive as it looks...)
