And here I am, in "sunny" Puerto Rico... So far the sun has only showed its face today and just for a little while. Still is windy as hell and because of the bad weather, going out has been out of the question!
To give you an idea, yesterday I waited more than an hour to get a taxi! Not even taxi drivers adventure out when there is bad weather. After all, it is understandable... the streets collapse with traffic jams, just because the lack of alternate routes and also, because three quarters of them are under 2 feet of water.
Electricity also fails. It only takes a knocked down line by the strong winds to have half the Metropolitan area without working semaphores for a while... and if, on top of it, you add the fact that there probably are one and a half cars per person... well, you do the math! But I tell you, in reality feels like been in the middle of total chaos!
Despite the heavy wind, a shy little sun emerged today between the dark clouds. A sign from heaven to go down to the pool... Unfortunately, the pool faces North and the hotel is just south of its lonely water hole... the sun doesn't reach the coral stones that surround the little pond. It even makes a big shadow over the small strip of beach behind it! Looking at the angle of the casted shadows, I would guess that around this time of year, it probably is early in the morning the only time suitable to sunbathe by the swimming pool. Just my luck! Cause frankly, I am not a morning person at all! If required to wake up early in the morning, I rather stay up all night... it is the only way I can remain sharp. Otherwise, I will look and feel as in a wake... MINE!
Anyway, I hope for a sunnier day tomorrow... in the mean time, I will probably go to the sancta sanctorum of my room to watch a movie, read my book, or something... Maybe I'll go out tonight... gotta be ready, just in case. Right!
