Winter is Here

Although located in the southern hemisphere, Belém refers to early December as the start of winter. “Winter” is more accurately described as the really rainy season, where it is supposed to rain twice a day. To date is has been raining a lot more often than this past “summer” (read rainy season), but that isn’t saying much since Belém suffered from a drought along with the rest of the Amazon. It rained two days ago. The afternoons are a little cooler as well, although I am still able to sit in front of my computer in my boxers with the window open and the fan blowing on me as I am doing now.

I heard there is some nasty weather in Texas. Ashia!*


*Expression of sympathy in Pidgin. Really. That’s what it means.
