Indeed, it has been a very rainy day here in Guanajuato. It was overcast and cool this morning when I left for school, and it has progressively gotten worse. By the time lunch came around, the rain started coming down in sheets. The sky looked ominous enough for us to catch a cab home. As soon as we entered the door, the rain started with fury. Yes, it was that hard. We even had a good amount of water rush into the house.
On another note, it has been a rather sad night around here. Queta got a call earlier today that her mother had been put in the hospital for some type of infection. We know her mother because she came to Guanajuato from Salamanca (an hour away) to take care of us the last time that Queta had to go to Leon for the day. She is a very, very kind lady. So, I think things took a turn for the worse this evening and the whole family went to the hospital in Salamanca. That meant that all 5 of us students living in the house had to fend for ourselves for supper. We went down to the store in Plaza Embajadoras to buy some pasta and ingredients to make pasta with tomato sauce. Well, we succeeded and the pasta was actually pretty good! The best thing is that the whole meal cost 3 bucks. That's a big portion of pasta for all 5 of us for just 3 bucks! I love this country.
I now find myself sitting in the living room, waiting for the family to come home. It's raining really hard outside and I hope they make it home safely. Lance and I are staying by the door because we have had to lock it ... in a way where it can only be opened from the inside. There's a little bar that we pull across the doors so that they can't be opened at all from the outside. They mostly do that when they go to bed for security reasons. However, we have had to do it today because the dogs have been pushing the doors open and coming into the house. So, it may be a long night waiting for them to get home.
On another note, I feel much better today. I think the food poising is gone for now. However, you never know if it will resurface. I surely hope not. I hope that medicine that I took in 4 painful shots will be strong enough to kill everything. We'll just have to wait and see.

It's a fine time for dogs behaving badly. I bought some jewelry-making supplies today and my dog spent the better part of the evening sniffing, licking, pushing, attempting to steal and generally molesting a ball of hemp twine. I don't understand this; it's not even like there are animal byproducts involved. Either my dog is going vegan or she wants to smoke the reefer.
Thanks for posting rainy-day street pics; I've had such a tough time trying to visualize that! The tunnel is an especially useful illustration.
Do you have a new itinerary worked out for coming back? Lance told me Oaxaca was looking iffy...
