it rained for the first time......

It rained today for the first time in almost a month. It's now raining for the fifth time. Even though the average temp today has still been around "hot as hades" I felt a slight chill several times. It's true what they say. Down here verano(summer)/non-rainy season is really only found during april.

Now, the dryness is over until next year. If my experience is even slightly reliable it will rain at least once a day almost every day from now until the end of next march. That translates into: I will experience the renewing rain every day until I return to the great U.S.A. While that may seem gloomy to some. I love it. I love the rain!

What did I do today? I gave a charla at the casa materna to four pregnant women about family planning! One of the women there now is 14. Another is 17 is pregnant for the second time. I tried to remind them of the importance of being prepared and planning for each child.

(PS)The scent while it's raining is exactly the same here as it is in the states.
you are the way - so i will follow you
you are the truth - so i will believe
you are the life - so i will live like
you're the only aire to breathe
