Storms

One thing that has remained constant during my time here, are the storms. This is Guatemalan rainy season, so there have been storms every single day at the exact same time. I understand that it's the rainy season, but being from dry Alberta makes this something else entirely. Consider this; I can put an average sized mop bucket outside at the start of the evening, and by morning it's almost completely full.

Beyond just the rain, is the lightning itself. Every few seconds, a bolt of lightning lights the sky, and the entire river becomes bright as day. These storms last for pretty much the entire night, with large downpours for a short while, followed by some moments of peace, then the cycle starts anew. Once morning rolls on by (the sun is fully up by 6), there is no evidence that there even was a storm.

Such is life on the Rio Dulce.
