There will be a Rain Dance on Friday Night, Weather Permitting

Well it seems as if winter has hit Recife in full force this week. It is grey, rainy, dreary, and windy. All day long. It's definitely not cold (28º - 32º), but the stores in the mall have all started displaying their winter lines - sweaters, leather jackets, scarves, toques. Who wears this stuff? Rain ≠ Cold. Rain = Dreary + Floods. We keep the air conditioners at the office extra low these days, just to add to the sensation!

For those who may have just purchased tickets to come visit me, fear not, I have requested a special dispensation for the weeks that you will be here....
