It rained here today. Actually, it POURED like I've never seen it pour before ever. The morning was hot and humid and usually, this kind of heat will ensure that the sky will fall sometime in the afternoon. Well fall it did. We sat at a corner cafe in Plaza Guemes and watched as it started to spit, then rain, then pour, then monsoon onto the street. In less than an hour, the roundabout turned into a living river and we watched school kids and grannies and teenage lovers scream their way across the streets. Such fun. People ended up just taking off their shoes and walking through barefoot.
The city is bracing for another downpour and streets are flooded all over our neighbourhood. Luckily, we found a cab in the mayhem and though it took three times longer than it should have to get home, we were fortunate. It will probably be hours before everyone gets home this Friday evening.
