Not much is new in the city of the eternal rain...
Well, everything is still really green which is very rare for this time of year. It is a treat to look out the roof top "garden" and witness the sea of green traveling towards the cloud forest. Still no fog, though, we hope that it will come later on in the year when the temperature drops a little.
A few new people have e-mailed me about the possibility of moving to Xalapa. I try to respond to their doubts as thoroughly as I possibly can, but I also realize how little I have been able to travel in the city this past few months. I did not remember how involved it was to take care of a baby and, oh, is it coming back to me now! I don't complain, though, he is my Sun, my North and my South, somedays my whole reason to go on. The other boys have grown so much and become so independent that I rarely spend much time with them anymore... yeah, they grow fast!
Back to life in the midst of the rain... people have written before about their doubts on the humidity levels on their arthritis. Well, I can say there is no correct answer anymore, there is no way of knowing if winter will be dry anymore or as wet as it has been this month! Usually, winter is the dry season... but fall is not drying out yet! Now, it is looking as the umbrella will be a constant in our everyday bag from now on. I do have to add that I look forward to the fog if this rain heralds it for the colder months!

About Me
- Claudia
- I am a student of the World. I enjoy getting to know different places and different people and share my knowledge and experiences with my family and friends. I was born in Mexico City and raised by many wonderful people, including my parents, in the ways of their own heritage. I traveled extensively in my childhood and youth, and that led me to persue a Graduate Degree in the US. There I met my husband and started a family. After 13+ years, a couple of boys and many, many friends later, I return to Mexico; this time with my family, so that my children can learn about their other heritage, and for me to return to my roots.

First garden we planted in Mexico

I'm going a little crazy from the mold. It's creeping into the walls, ruining our shoes and clothes, and I opening the windows to let a breeze in 1) isn't possible when it's raining all the time, and 2) doesn't help anyway, because the humidity is everywhere!
The breeze actually carries a lot of moisture, when it is windy or sunny it will help air out... but not dry. The answer is patience and spraying alcohol to kill the mold and dry the item a little bit (some fabric does not like alcohol, but it isgreat on shoes) and never store anything wet or even slightly dirty... mold thrives on sweat! We know that if we stop moving for too long... we'll probably get moldy too!
