So, it is the "green season" here, which basically means it rains torrentially every afternoon. On the first day in the Los Santos region, the rain began at 12:32 pm and poured so much that we periodically had to stop our orientation session for yet another coffee break because you could not hear the presenter over the rain hitting the metal roof. During one such break, I looked out the window to see several cows running down a steep slope as if they were headed towards the finish line of an important race. Our group of teachers and scientists decided to place daily bets about what time the rain would start each day and determined that the winner should get a plate of rice and beans (which we eat with every meal including breakfast). Yesterday´s winner was Sarah Riggen, a teacher from D.C. She had the exact correct guess- 1:36 pm. I guessed 2:32 pm for today, feeling optimistic, but actually the rain began at 11:33 am.

ReplyDeleteHi Allison-
ReplyDeleteI am having a great time! I miss you guys, too! Hope you have a good last couple of days and that the weather improves for the BBQ. I have learned that the coffee is definitely better! We drink it often. I also found out that you can buy the coffee we are drinking at Starbucks. They sell a special Tarrazu coffee and it also one of the coffees in their Latin American Blend. Thanks for writing.
