There are often downpours here that last 15-30 minutes and come without a lot of warning. The sun shines bright as normal but then it starts raining without the dark clouds that would normally indicate a storm coming.

I was stuck without cover in one of these downpours. One of the kids gestured me to come stand under the roof ledge for cover. I was much more concerned about the camera than getting wet as the rain always cools me off.

These are some pics of the kids playing in the rain. The saying "too dumb to come in out of the rain" kept running through my head but experiencing this firsthand here....it doesnt have the same significance as home. The rain will only fall for a short time and one doesnt risk getting a cold as the weather is so hot.
