Everything is going green here. It's finally rainy season and the once-dead plants are sucking it up. It's nice to look at the mountain outside of town and see green instead of dead, dry brown. The road-side fires have stopped since there is nothing to burn, and the sugarcane is no longer being burnt either, so there is no "black rain".
However, we have to time our laundry just right. If we wash in the morning, we need to watch the skies for rain, and run home, or hope Sergio is there to take our laundry in. Otherwise it will get doused with rainwater, and that means stinky clothes. I'm not sure if that's how it works in the States, but the rainwater here is not clean. Clothes end up smelling like old socks. Ick.
The skies are gorgeous now. Covered in clouds of all sorts. Sometimes they lay low in the sky, sometimes they are high and fluffy. With the green hills in the background, Tuxpan has suddenly become surrounded by beauty.
