It's only rained once since the end of February and we have had a desperate need for it. It's been unusually dry here in the tropics. When we drive down the dirt road to the hospital we leave behind a billowing trail of dust. We drive much slower this time of year so we don't "smoke out" anyone walking or biking on the side of the road. The dust from the nearby road has been coating everything in our house too. The palms on the hospital's farm (read about the sustainable agriculture farm here on the Browning's Blog) also needed water. So, everyone was very excited when we finally got rain Friday night and again Sunday afternoon. About this time of year, it starts to rain every afternoon so we're hoping this is just the beginning.
The rain also cleared the air and ocean a bit creating good conditions for snorkeling and spear fishing. Rimas came home with 2 small lobsters. We cooked them up that night along with some plantains and they were great!
