Holy Kershmoly!

Lots and lots of rain these last two weeks. Remarkable amounts, really. Most of us are climbing the walls out of boredom right now. Many of the local businesses close for October anyway, but combined with the heavy precipitation and the near-complete lack of waves, its a drag.


Nothing beats fixing a road while it is still flooding, I'm sure. These poor guys broke an embankment on one of the biggest drainage ditches in town, flooding their worksite in the process.

Since Jocelyn is up in Atlanta on business right now, and since the Tamarindo real estate market is at it's typical seasonal low, I'm especially bored. Couple that with the fact that I've got this great new 80 series landcruiser sitting in the very wet, uncovered parking, and I'm not only bored but frustrated with my inability to enjoy a new project.

Ah, well. At least I can slog through the sodden streets and snap a few shots of how the rain is ruining other people's day as well. Not much consolation. For those of you who haven't been to Tamarindo- these last two pics are about 6 ft of water in what is supposed to be the nascent foundation of a new building. I suspect they may suffer some construction delays while they work this one out.
