Even When It's Not Raining, It's Raining

The jungle always rains. This is a true fact that all the guides at the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve share with all the visitors. Because the fauna in the rain forest thrives on intense amounts of annual rain, many of the plants have evolved to retain the moisture they collect and, as a result, drip and drop condensation even on dry days. So, in our house, deep in the jungle, it always sounds like it's raining. Today, though, it doesn't just sound it- it is definitely raining. For two more months. I promise I will write about other things although I do definitely anticipate the rain being the main focus of my life... I hope it won't turn into an obsession.
