Today I experienced rain for the first time in 4 weeks. Can you believe it? Alex and I went trekking in the Sierra Nevada and got stuck in a cloud on top of the mountain until we could descend enough to get out of it! I went to visit the village where I was supposed to be teaching and it was absolutely beautiful, up in the mountains, smelling of coffee and there were some great waterfalls that you could swim in and dive off from. Although I now resemble a plague victim as the native bugs seem to like my blood and I think I am allergic to them as my legs have swelled up with giant red blotches. It's probably a good thing I didn't go there otherwise I would come back as a big red blotch!
