Our First Rain

Well it sure doesn't rain often in the dry season but when it does it pours! Rob and I had taken the bus to Zoo Ave and decided to walk part of the way back to Norma's ( about 3km of the 8km trip). I wanted to stroll through Vivero Central-largest plant distributor in CR-on the way home. It had turned cloudy and you could feel a slight humidity in the air (first I had felt) so we were keeping an eye on the weather also. When we got to the vivero, Rob had to make a "pit stop" so we went into the restaurant and had an Imperial and used the facilities.

We sat by the open air windows over-looking the gorge below. It was a nice view and we could see the storm moving in and listen to the thunder getting closer. The temperature took a definite drop and then the clouds opened up and it POURED, straight down, no wind. You can imagine the sound as the restaurant had a steel roof (with one major leak) and no windows to block out the roar of the rain. It was awesome!!!! We are so glad we stopped and of course had to wait till it eased to go wait for the bus so had time for a second Imperial. Check out video section for more sights and sounds of our first rain here in Costa Rica ( http://asifweknow.com/index.php?pg=5&vid=6 ) .
