IT'S ALWAYS SUNNY IN TAMARINDO


Costa Rica has distinct wet and dry seasons, with the changeover in roughly May and November. During the former, mornings may be fair but it pours almost every afternoon. The tourism people euphemistically refer to it as the Green Season. By this time of year the countryside is quite brown. The forecast is the same day after day, sunny and 90F/32C. The only variation is that some days are windier.

It is unusual that we have had a threat of thunderstorms for the last couple of days. Nothing has hit the town but the skies have been gloomy and we have seen showers offshore. This was taken at sunset last night from our condo.

It was the first week of April when I went with Julie and we saw skies like this two or three times the week we were there. In fact, when we arrived, there was lightening out on the horizon over the water. It was something to see.

Quite dramatic.
