Dominican optimism....

So, my workers, Margo and Tuly decided to have a fiesta at their little casita.  Dominicans don't do things by halves and their small fiesta was planned with a 100 lb bbq'd pig with lots of yummy side dishes plus the usual rice/ beans, plantains and yucca.  Only hiccup was the possibility of rain..... had loads lately and it rained very heavily again on Saturday then, as usual, the sun came out for a while.

On Sunday morning, it was pissing down once again so the offer was made to transfer fiesta to the larger covered terrace here but I was told it would not be necessary and just to arrive by 2 pm.  How they knew that it would stop raining and would all dry out and it would be far to hot to sit out in the sun by 2 pm onwards I have no idea but it did and a great time was had by all.  After nightfall, the heavens opened again with loads more rain!
