Raining

I returned home last night from my class at the Casa de la Cultura just after 7 PM. As I walked past the corner store across the street from us the store owner came out to chat. He looked at the sky and told me that it was going to rain at 9 PM or so. I told him I hoped so. He laughed and we chatted for a minute before I came home.
Maybe 20 minutes later we were sitting out on the patio and it began to pour rain. I was glad that I had made it home before that started as I had carried home my finished painting. Not a good time to be standing and waiting for a bus!
It poured for an hour or so and then gently rained off and on all night.
This morning it is still sprinkling and is overcast and cooler, (27 C.). Wonderful! It is a break from the heat for a few hours and everything will love the refreshing rain. This is the first rain of the summer so I am sure everyone is enjoying it. Hopefully, no one got flooded out last night, that is always a concern as it doesn't take much rain to start a rushing river down the hills/mountains.

Soccer Game

Last Saturday evening we went with our landlord, his daughter in law and the two grandchildren to watch a soccer game. The landlords sons team was playing in their leagues championship game. He is around 31 or 32 and plays in the "veteranos" league. In other words the old timers league, too funny thinking of him as being old.
Anyway the game commenced and "our" team scored the first goal. Unfortunately the other team scored back and then got another goal and that was it for our guys. They never came back and lost the game, no celebrating that evening.

It was not too hot and we sat on the truck end gate to watch. I think I had more fun listening to the other fans and feeding young Diego suckers to keep him in the truck box with us rather than running onto the field to join his dad.
A nice evening with the family.

Getting ready to play.

Our buddys Allan and Diego

A couple of days ago we heard noises outside and looked out to see a front end loader and a couple of trucks.  The front end loader was on the street behind us doing some clean up and then loading the refuse and debris onto the trucks.  It looks much better back there now.

Cleaning up.
