Adapting
Monday, June 2, 2008
Maybe it’s because I work from home now, so I no longer have to be out in it, but the afternoon rain has become one of my favorite parts of the day. The clouds come in and a cool breeze kicks up and the rain comes roaring down on all the tin roofs, straight down, like it’s heavier than other rain. I always imagine that the jungle is still covering the Central Valley, or I think of the Ticos in the countryside taking shelter from the aguacero to drink afternoon coffee and watch it come down.
