It is the rainy season. I guess it isn't a shock--I am living in a rain forest; however, just a few days into it and I'm already sick of it. I have to sleep in ear plugs as to sleep through the rain because it pounds so loudly. The rain isn't any worse than Miami last summer; however, there are many unpaved roads so we get to walk in the rain AND mud. Oh well, at least it isn't a million degrees anymore! I just hope we don't get a big hurricane. Oh, and the water is back on, but it isn't safe to drink--I guess you win some and you loose some!
Here are some pictures form this morning. I don't know if it does the rain any justice. I put on my giant poncho, which an entire Dominican village could get refuge under and magically the rain stopped. I'll have Farley take a picture so you can all enjoy my "hobbit" look. Can you see the "trail to school" well, I think it turned into a river. Dominica maybe only be 754 sq Km (or slightly more than four times the size of Washington, DC) but it now has 366 rivers !
