It's still raining.
I think it has been raining, with maybe a 3 hour break in the middle of the day today, since Monday afternoon. Streets are covered with standing water, the underground tunnels and streets have been flooded, and traffic across the city is at a complete standstill. Someone even died in one of the flooded tunnels last night. Thing's are getting crazy around here. At this rate, I may have to swim back to my house by the time I leave here. Getting here was a feat in itself. I had to wade across quite a few ankle-high, raging rivers.
Other than the rain, everything is still fine around here. I'm not feeling as well today as I did yesterday. I've had a bit more stomach pain than I did. But, I hope this is just my stomach being finnicky and nothing more. Carlos, my literature professor, canceled our next group presentation, so I am thrilled about that. I can now enjoy my Thursday in peace. Tomorrow, we have scheduled a visit to the Don Quijote Museum and a Callejoneada. The Callejoneada is a famous Guanajuato-style street party where people follow musicians in old-world Spanish clothing and drink wine out of flasks that they were given for the occasion. This callejoneada is being organized by our study-abroad organization, so I doubt there will be any alcohol involved. I am interested to see how it is like.
So, it's hump day. It's been a quick week in some respects, but a long one in others. I am missing being at home with everyone, but I am having a great time here. I'm 1/3 of the way through my whole trip, which is hard to believe.
Thanks for all of your comments and I hope that you all will continue to do so! Have a wonderful rest of the week!
