April 27th was the first day of the rains here in Managua. Which marks the beginning of rainy season when it rains nearly everyday, sometimes just showers and sometimes full on flash flood.
The cool winds came then the thunder, then some cheers and then people running to find shelter as the rains this year came with gusto. It poured for a good hour and a half with thunder and lighting and the whole enchilada. My host brother and I ran around the house giving each other high-fives and singing about the rains. Happy First Rain everyone!
However as it turns out that big storm was a tease and the real rains came May 11th. It has rained every day since. Welcome Rainy Season!
