cloudy with a chance of meatballs

Portoviejo’s weather is predictable. Take a look at the forecast: http://www.weather.com/outlook/travel/businesstraveler/tenday/ECXX0017?from=today_topnav_BusinessTravel  . Basically, high of about 90, low of about 70, and scattered thunderstorms. eeeeeeevery day. I have yet to actually hear thunder, but there sure has been a lot of rain. Portoviejo is a big puddle. A wonderful place for pigs, or people in rainboots.

As far as I know, the power outages have officially stopped. So no more eating dinner by candlelight or laying on the porch outside when it’s super hot. I will kind of miss the inconveniences that the power outages caused- sitting in the movie theatre waiting for the generators to kick in and to continue the movie, having to return to the post office the next day to recieve your package because the computers won't work without electricity, spending the hottest days in the mall because it is air conditioned...

I am currently spending my free time reading The DaVinci Code in Spanish! Which is interesting. I have to look up a whole bunch of words but I understand everything that is going on. It really shows me how much Spanish I actually know. I can read an adult-level book and actually understand what's going on (even if I do have to look up every other word)!
