The tropics must have the LOUDEST nights ever. At night, it sounds as if the jungle comes alive. Frogs, birds, monkeys and who knows what else start making noise as soon as the sun goes down. There is a frog somewhere close to me, croaking like crazy, but I cannot seem to shut it up. And he is getting support from about 1000 other frogs in the neighbourhood. CRAZY!!! The good thing is that we've brought earplugs, so that helps a bit, but you can still hear the noisy buggers outside.
It is really hot and humid here. Right after you take a shower and dry off, you are fully drenched in sweat again. Kind of makes you wonder "Why bother?" It has been raining quite a bit, those fast and furious tropical showers. You are drenched in about 10 seconds if you don't find some kind of shelter.
We went to the beach for the first time today, as the rain has kept us cloistered in our hotel for the last few days. We've been spending our time reading books and eating chocolate chip cookies. YUMMY!
Looks like we will have a few more days of rain and then a few clear days at the end. It's not really a problem as we have another beach vacation booked in about a week. I know, life IS hard! :-)
