A quick one

It's been about three weeks of classes and it's been about three weeks of non stop rain! Don't get me wrong, rain is wonderful, it keep all nature green, lush... but this is not normal Xalapa rain. Thanks to global warming, there is no more chipi-chipi... it is now an unseasonal downpour that drenches everyone and disrupts the normal course of life.
In years past, here in Xalapa, people went on with life rain or not rain. Rain was a very thin, constant drizzle that lets people do about everything... just a little bit moister. The last few weeks have had rains that hinder even the normal task of walking anywhere, and Xalapa is a walking city!
The City government decided to finally pave the street where school sits (24 years after the neighbors asked them to). Of course, they had to wait until classes resumed to start the digging, leveling, etc. Well, the plan was not too bad since September is the end of the rainy season, WAS. So, no parking even close to the school, mud pits everywhere and torrential downpours right at drop off and pick up... it has been trying for most kids and parents! But then again, when you look at it from another perspective: after 24 years of waiting, a few months of more mud cannot be too bad!
