The rains can come from 3 directions. While all come mostly from the east the clouds can come off the ocean from the front, come down the coast line which is the side, or they can roll over the mountains from the back. I love watching the storms come in from the ocean. It paints a beautiful scenery. The dark black of the clouds with the brilliant blue of the ocean. If the rain is hard enough I can watch the rain slowly make its way towards me.
I found a wall thermometer today. Even with the rain and clouds it was 86 around 1 this afternoon now it’s around 82. I am not sure how accurate the thermometer is its by the same company that my tire pressure gauge was made by and it will not register above 40 psi. Though the bottle opener I bought has never failed.
After having read several books about peace corps service I think I am going to write a book on my service. Though I don’t think I will do it as one long narrative but as short stories. With chapters just on subjects like food, weather, animals, etc. Mainly because I don’t think I could write s full book on the subject and the short little stories would be more fun, at least I think so.

This morning was a chilly 76. Really I was chilled when I woke this morning. I know its been colder than that some mornings but probably nothing below 70. The high today was 93 and that was in the shade of the porch. I didn’t find 93 all that hot it was nice with a cool breeze. I am going to freeze when I come home it probably won’t be anywhere close to the 80’s when I come home.

Yesterday I attempted to make tortillas. With out a rolling pin or a place to flatten them out I ended up with something that could be described as a love child of a pancake and a tortilla. Today I made some fry pan biscuits. I made the dough and fried it up. Made a pretty good biscuit, Thicker than ones baked in the oven but still good with honey.
On the way into town the other the bus broke down. It was having problems for a bit then finally stopped. The driver got another bus to stop and pick us up. Normally it cost me 1.50 but when taking the 2 buses I only paid .90.
