Un Dia Lluvioso (A Rainy Day)

We had quite a storm yesterday afternoon. While visiting with Sr. Jaime after lunch, it started to rain and hail. Within 15 minutes, the pool overflowed and the courtyard flooded. It was a deluge! The storm lasted about an hour, but the power outage lasted all afternoon, so Sr. Jaime offered to drive us to the bookstore in Chapalita and to Office Max in Zapopan.

Getting out of our neighborhood was an adventure in and of itself! All the traffic lights were out, and there was no four-way-stop business going on. Cars were going every which way, honking, while choice words-- that our Spanish course failed to mention--sounded from some of the drivers' windows.

Once out of the chaos, we had a nice cruise over to Chapalita, where Garrett bought his review books. We drove past the Governor's house on the way; it's not very far from Maria's.

At Office Max, we were able to get everything on our list, except a day planner. I'm beginning to wonder if those aren't so popular here...
