The Rainy Season is Here

The rainy season is now upon us.  The down side is that the boat gets a little green and you definitely want to carry an umbrella with you.  Trips to town are timed between showers and if you are lucky you can get back dry.

The good news is that it will hopefully end the terrible drought that Guatemala has been suffering from,  this last year.  The down side is that there is a Pacific Low that will cross the mountains and there will be flooding rains.  The concern is that there will be mudslides in the mountains and entire villages may once again go down the mountain.  It has happened before.  Entire villages were covered and declared cemetaries. 

The good news if that everything is flowering and every morning the sidewalks in the marina are covered with flower petals.  As you walk down for a free cup of coffee you feel like royalty.  The down side...it is raining.

More good news.  There were fresh flowers for sale by the post office in Morales.  Only Q25 ($3) for a dozen fresh long stem roses.  Makes the boat pretty and it smells great!

The good news...hot showers, bar on the premises, a restaurant on the premises, a pool, laundry and last but not least...Good FRIENDS!
