Our luck has followed us from the USA, it turns out that in Southern Mexico rainy season starts in September and ends in November. In tropical areas there are two seasons: dry and wet. And now we’re getting deeper into the rainy one. Our tents haven’t really been tested in serious rain, and the reason is: quite frequently locals find us covered places to spend the night.
Apart from ranches and private houses we have another option: the school building. If we can make a “deal” with the guards, or the director lives near the school, we can usually arrange something. This time it was our lucky night, heavy rain was predicted. But the security guard called the director and we got a permission to stay. We hadn’t seen other semi-open places so it was indeed, lucky for us. Since it was a Saturday, we didn’t have to worry about a swarm of kids gathering around our tents the next morning. :)
Nothing in the morning, the clouds start to build up during the afternoon and late afternoon, early evening it rains, scheduled, you can count on it. Sometimes the rain misses us, but you can see flashes every single night.
