The Weather

Let's talk about something else...the Weather. Sometimes they say that if you talk about the weather, you don't have anything to talk about so you might as well shut up. Well, I'll try to make this interesting.











During my vacations in November and December, it was rain season. Now, it was hardly raining at that time and when you come from Holland...let's just say I liked the refreshments. And now it's March and that means dry season here. So today it rained! 

During this season it is very windy, not just a little, but very very windy. It's nice in a way because due to the wind it is also kite season. Now, I work on weekends so I can't go to any kite meets, but it should be fun if you are ever to visit during this season.

This week we had a weather warning though, because of the same wind. It doesn't just carry kites it also carries waves to a very high level and moves sea creatures towards the shore. One of them is the Portuguese Man of War. The name alone will scare you enough as it is. This creature looks like a jelly fish, which it's not, and it's got tentacles that can become 50 meters long. These tentacles are very poisonous. So if you ever get here; watch for these babies and stay away from them. If you find them on the beach, still stay away from them!
