Meteor Shower Or Rain Shower?
Last evening we decided to go to San Carlos for dinner. There is a restaurant there (Mexico Gourmet) that is run by a group of students, learning the trade. Everything that I have heard about the food and service has been good and I have wanted to try it out for some time. We arrived there early, around 6 PM and it was closed!! We ended up going for pizza at our friends restaurant (Marias Pizza) instead and it was a warm dinner. One of their air conditioners had broken down and they couldn't get it fixed until today and the other one, just could not keep up with the heat. Regardless of the warm temperature we enjoyed our pizza and visit and headed home to sit on the patio to watch the Perseid Meteor showers.
We drove home past the Delphinario and the beachs at Miramar. It was wall to wall cars parked and lots of people in the water. Busy place during the summer.
It had been getting more and more overcast as the evening progressed and by the time we got home we couldn't see any stars at all. Our landlord was disappointed and we were also. Instead we sat and watched a beautiful show put on by mother nature. The lightning was impressive as well as the thunder. Better than any man made pyrotechnics. I unplugged the computers and TV and unhooked the cable, just to be safe. We turned off the air conditioners and opened all the windows to let the breeze flow through. After a couple of hours, we actually got a rain shower, so we went to sleep listening to the sound of raindrops. Not a usual occurance here.
Hopefully it will be clear on the 28th as there is supposed to be a total Lunar Eclipse.
