Rain in a Semi Desert

While normally a hot and dry place with daily temps reaching into the 100’s, we seem to arrived at the beginning of a brief season of cooler temperatures and heavy rains.

Rains are considered a blessing in this semi desert even though they also carry with them destruction and sometimes even death bringing flash floods.

This morning’s downpours hindered our plans to visit some friends in the camp this morning, so we are hanging out with our NGO partner staff watching rugby (commonwealth games in Australia) and trying to describe what a Minnesota winter is like.
