Despite the insane heat, Yensy and I walked a couple of hours from her house, through some fields and down some dirt roads to a beautiful spot in the river. We were drenched in sweat and I immediately plunged in, between the rocks, to the surprisingly warm water. It was a gorgeous place to spend the afternoon.
On the way home, with the two dogs in tow, thunder began to rumble above us. The blue sky and sweltering sun had been quickly replaced by grey clouds, which I was zealously thankful for. However, my gratitude soon turned to horror as the heavens opened and an incomprehensible quantity of water rained down upon us. In no time at all, we were totally soaked to the bone, hair stuck to our faces, wading through the newly formed streams and backpacks sodden.
Fortunately today, as every other day, I did abide by my number one rule on the road. Always, always, ALWAYS carry zip-locks.
