Heavy rains



It is raining in paradise. For a week now it has been raining a lot day and night, really heavy downpours. On top of that it is also cold, below +25 C and that is cooold here in paradise. There has been days when temperature has been as low as +20 C even daytime. Dominicans dress in thick winter-coats to survive the cold.
Floods are everywhere. The above picture is from the street Pedro Clisante in Sosúa. For tourists staying here now, the bad weather means that their vacation is more or less destroyed. Not much to do in this weather. For a lot of local people this weather is a catastrophy, lots of people have been evacuated, many have lost their homes when the rivers burst their banks.


The sun will be most welcome when it finally comes out again. Maybe next week.....
