Sitting outside last night, all of us, almost at the same time realized there were really strange looking clouds coming our way. We sat in awe for about ten minutes. I took the opportunity to take some pictures since they will also give everyone an idea of what it's like near my house. (I'm yet to take many pictures, don't ask me why.) Below the crazy looking clouds, please take note of the non-stop GREEN and lack of asphalt. :)
We sat staring, noting how pretty (and bizarre) the clouds looked. A brief discussion of the end of the world ensued, but I assured everyone we could rest easy until 2012. Then...I felt the first rain drop. And another. Everyone else felt it as well and all of a sudden, a crazy wind started. I felt like I had been transported to Austurias's Viento Fuerte.
We immediately took off running to bring in all the clothes before the wind sent them off to a land far far away. It was then that I noticed everyone had left poor Wendy's mother chasing the pollitos (chicks, in English, I think) into their coop, so I grabbed a broom and started helping her. Running up down, all around trying to get them in we were. While I REALLY wish I had pictures of the chaos that followed our dumbfounded admiration, these will have to suffice.
If the first four photos serve to demonstrate how beautiful it is here, the last is most certainly to demonstrate how I look after a long day...and this is a day when I DIDN'T go out with Wendy's father, glued to the back of a motorcycle winding through washed out roads and having no padding on my booty.
Enjoy!
GRG, you look like you have been, well, beaten up comes to mind, but you're kind of smiling, so that's not right. But, um, close. Missing you muchly.
