The Rain

It rained really hard last night. I remember listening in a sleepy daze to the torrential down pore. It seemed to go on for hours. When I woke up in the morning, I was surprised to see a whole section of our condominium gate completely knocked out by the storm. Driving to school in the morning, I saw flipped over cars, uprooted trees, and broken asphalt all over the city. Makes me happy not to live in a hillside favela.

Yeah, for some reason no one has figured out drainage here. Check out this week in bahia later to see some videos of our flooded road, tidal waves from buses, and cars buried to their mid hatchbacks in sewer soaked rain.
