It’s been raining for more than 36 hours now. It started about 7:30am yesterday and it’s now close to 1am on Saturday, and showing no signs of abating. There’s water across the floor of the[…]

Lumazed
I took La Serpiente to school on my bike today, and as I rode home to pick up my bag for work, a few drops of rain fell. I almost put the bike back in[…]
