Last night and this morning we had more of the crazy rain. It is hard to describe how hard it rains and then immediately stops like nothing even fell from the sky. This caliber of rain would flood our town at home in a matter of minutes. Here it just drains and rushes down the landscape towards the ocean. There is a lot of mud this time of year but the air is warm and it really does dry up amazingly quick. Soon the roads will need to be sprayed with molasses to keep the dust down. We are on the arid side of the country and it turns from the green season (which is a more desirable way of saying rainy or wet) to super dry in a matter of weeks. We witnessed this transformation last year (that is another reason the rain isn't bringing us down).
The Fairies had a little time to read before school.
By the time the Fairies reached school the rain had stopped and the sun showed it's face. There substitute was a young lady from San Francisco and guess what? She was nice. MomT and DadD were allowed to leave without any fuss from Fairy2.
MomT and DadD hit the juice bar. They attended an awesome yoga class together and went to Robin's for lunch. Lunch was as tasty as last year's.
Homemade corn tortillas stuffed with potatoes, onions and peppers and drizzled with some yummy creamy sauce. Side of chayote squash, salsa fresca and black beans. The magpie jays love to eat at Robin's as well.
They were polite enough today for this table to be unoccupied by people. If you have bread on your plate sometimes they are a little more bold. Another good reason to not eat wheat.
After lunch....a little shopping at a boutique MomT had been dying to visit.
DadD got all geared up, including surfing hat, and was kind enough to pose before he hit the surf with the "Surf Betty".
MomT went to pick up the Fairies and once again they had a great day at school. Fairy1 got to skype with her class back in NH. Her favorite part of skyping was getting to see her buddy MEE. She is excited to report back to her class the assignments she has been given for the upcoming weeks. Fairy2 had a great day except for when another student leaned his arm on a tree and got numerous ant bites. Ouch! Fairy1 said she heard him scream and she wasn't even outside. Fairy1 said it was the part of her day that made her sad.
On our way home, Fairy1 was able to see her beloved favorite Tico of all. Nelson! He was the first person to introduce her to surfing. They will be reunited in the surf this Sunday for a lesson.
And then into the pool!
The Fairies love the pool after a day of sweating and getting dirty at school, good thing the pool guy comes 3 times a week.
