We have aparently come to Guatemala during the rainy season. One of my favorite phrases to use is "Hay mucho lluvia!" (there is a lot of rain) because, well, I learned the word for rain early on, because I don´t know how to say much else, and because there IS a lot of rain. I may sound a little stupid for stating the obvious, but at least I don´t sound stupid because my grammar is bad, that´s something, no? The locals ALWAYS respond with "Yes, it´s the rainy season". I love the rain. At first I was so happy, the rainy season is fantastic, the rain is fantastic, I love it! And then three weeks went by...
You should know that as we walk through these beautiful cobblestone and mud streets here in Xela we are always watching for dog poop because there are so many stray dogs. So as it has rained for the last six hours and I have to walk to school, in my flip flops because all my other shoes are soaking wet, and I am standing ankle deep in water, I can´t help but wonder what happened to all that dog poop that I so carefully did not step in.
I am beginning to revise my opinion on rain.

The dog poop is in Buenos Aires, Sarah, however it is spring there now (no rain.) See you in Argentina.
Buy a boat, or wear galoshes. I love that word.
Sarah it could be worse--I just finished reading Blindness--at least you probably don't have dead bodies to step around!
Make Soup.
