Fun in the... rain

For the past two weeks, we have been stalked by the rain. It is really just teasing us at this point, only stopping on the days we have to work, and coming right back out as soon as we have a day off. Now every day is a battle with the rain, to see who can get to the beach first. You can see the dark clouds brewing, following  you, and so far we have not had a rain free day for two straight weeks. 

El Junco, a crater lake, and the highest point on San Cristobal.

The storms are brewing

Of course, with such limited time here, we don’t let that get in our way of having fun. So far we’ve simply been testing our luck, dodging the rainstorms when possible, outrunning them in speeding taxis. And we’ve managed a bit of success. So far I’ve gotten to see several of the beautiful beaches on San Cristobal, some transport you to the Caribbean with turquoise waters and sand like powdered sugar. While others bring me back to my childhood with seaweed, dunes, and course sand, placing me back home at Cape Cod. 

Puerto Chino, a beautiful beach that could fool anyone into thinking they were in the Caribbean.

Nom nom nom.

Last weekend we even got to take advantage of a few hours of sun to visit a Giant Tortoise breeding center. And I’m trying to plan a dive to the famous Kicker Rock for next weekend, rain or shine. So if you’re sitting back in cold, rainy PA, no need to be jealous, and don’t forget to ¡aprovechar de su tiempo!
