When I was here in February and March, my Dad and I talked about the weather here. He said other than the rainy season, a cloud in the sky - just one cloud - constituted overcast skies here. I laughed and thought he was funny.
I have now lived through my first rainy season here and generally there wasn't alot of time raining, although we did receive over the average in rainfall this season. But what I really noticed was that the sky was full of clouds always - or almost always. Even if there was only a few clouds, the sky never seemed clear and bright and blue.
Well today as I sit at my computer, looking out my window, I see the green mountains, the sway of the coconut palm tree in my front yard and the clearest bluest sky. Not a cloud in sight. It is so crisp and beautiful.
I have been told that the rainy season ends in September and seeing as today is the last day of September, it just might be over. My only hope is that the mountains wont' turn brown and dry before Andre gets to see them when he comes on the 11th.
When he was last here, the mountains were sparce and brown and baren. Today they are green and lush with some trees blooming yellow flowers as dots on the horizon. You add in the clear blue sky and it is awe inspiring to say the least.
Wish you were here to see it with me.
