I spent the afternoon singing a song with the little kids about staying next to the "fuegita" when it's cold and raining outside. The clouds have been merciless in pouring out their abundance on the country, well the coast at least. Yesterday the sun and clouds were in a battle for realty space in the sky; unfortunately the big mean clouds eventually won and the day ended in downpour. Today started with a shimmer of hope, but my hopes were crushed as I ran from the school to the car and was re-showered on my way. Laundry has been a challenge... not the washing part obviously. Usually the hot south american sun dries dripping wet clothes in less than an hour... but mr.sun won't shine down on me or the clothesline. I've held out for a week, hoping for sunshine, a glimpse of hope in this overcast land. Alas, I need clothes and other clothes that Liliana washed 2 days ago just weren't drying and the thought of "sog" perfume isn't very appealing. So she built a fire (fuegita) and now our clothes are happily drying, and I should have a fuller shelf of clean clothes by tomorrow morning. Praise the Lord!
