Yesterday I was ready to see a concert in a park, when all of a sudden the rain started up. Half an hour later there was still no taxi to be found. It's funny how they seem to disappear due to rain, when there are so, so many of them normally.
Today has been cold all day. Our school is up on the hill, which technically is a very tall mountain, but the close part of the city has such high elevation already that it really is just a steep hill. Usually the day will start cool and then warm up to maybe the low 60's, but I don't think today has gotten above 55. I've been wearing my Walgreen's "Magic Gloves" all day long. They're life savers for being able to type grades all day amongst the cool air.
So just to clarify, yes I am at 4 degrees north latitude and no it is not gloriously warm here all the time. It's a perennial Autumn. (Medellin has a perennial Spring, called "La Eterna Primavera".) Actually 28 of 32 districts (i.e. states) here are flooded due to the huge amount of rain from El Nino this year. Fortunately downtown Bogota is not, but there has still been a ton of rain this year.
T-minus 3 days until I'm in cold and snow.
