Algeciras has had more rain this winter than it has in many, many years. Here, the wind is so erratic due the unique geography, that it will gust 40 km/h from one direction and literally 10 seconds later 40 km/h from the opposite direction. This being so, and I am quite serious, the streets literally look like a battlefield, filled with the corpses of broken umbrellas. I thought I was smarter than the natives - ha - and was going to avoid losing my umbrella to the squall. As if. Within 10 minutes of walking in the perfect storm, my umbrella was broken and I was completely soaked from head to toe, save my rain jacket and my bag which are waterproof. Through this experience I've learned that: 1) it's acceptable to cancel an appointment or class because of rain here, and 2) that 5 euro umbrellas are good for one use.
Pictures to come. Peace and love.
I'll be using this blog to communicate passing thoughts, keep my loved ones in the loop on my day-to-day life, linking points of interest, etc.
