Waiting for the Storm
The weather here is muy calor (very hot) but every evening the wind begins to blow and the sky turns yellow and the lightning bolts cross the sky and the downpour comes. Usually it is not too long. Will we get home from the internet cafe without rain gear?? Two nights ago there was a very big storm. Instead of rain there was hail. We were in a restaurant, which had to close the doors because of the ferocity of the storm. The hail came in cracks and one went down my neck. It was past an hour before we could leave. In the country this storm did much damage, washing out roads and such. The mountains were covered with hail, like snow, and the children loved it.
