Normally, by this time of year it is insanely hot (or so I’m told). This year is an exception, it has been extremely mild here the past couple of months and it’s already rained lightly twice. The breezes continue to cut the effects of living too close to the equator. Nothing to complain about, but I’ve sensed the temperature rising ever slowly over the past few weeks and the sounds outside my window have been getting increasingly louder at night. It feels as if the winter hibernation is over and all those little sleeping animals have reawakened to live off of the humid water drenched jungle that this place will slowly start to become. Our apartment is slowly becoming inundated with lizards and grasshoppers and other little creatures, I can’t imagine what this place will be like when the rains come.
And outside a symphony roars, just a little louder every night.
