We recently had a torrential downpour one evening and in the morning we saw the result.

The rainy season starts about in May and goes through the summer. Because our streets flood, every doorway has little metal drop-down doors that help block out the water, but it still makes a mess in homes and little tiendas (stores).

We’re on the second floor so we’re not directly affected, but it sure makes for a mess for a lot of people, and because we walk everywhere, it’s messy – and dusty after it dries out!

Little gates.

Lots of mud and when flowing fast is dangerous.

Surveying the aftermath of the flooding.

Oh joy – cleaning up.
