Randomness
I don't have much to say because not much has been happening, but at the same time we haven't posted in a while so I guess this is mostly to say we are still here. This week things have been very slow mostly because of rain. One of the odd things about Jamaica as a tropical country is that the people here do not like to go out in the rain. That has become very clear this week when many parts of the island have received about 2 inches a day for the past three or four days. Some areas (Kingston in particular) are experiencing some bad flooding. Nothing too bad here, although on my way into work there was about 1/4 mile of road where there was quite a bit of water over the road.

Is there a rainy season? Does it get very muddy? (Mud=Peace Corps in much of my memory.) Do you have GALOSHES?
Yes, there is definitely a rainy season (which basically corresponds with hurricane season). There is some mud, but the geology where we are is mostly limestone which means it is quite slippery when wet. But no galoshes yet. We visited another volunteer over the weekend and there was MUD there.
