It was 19°C with few clouds. The breeze was light.

When it rains, it pours. Rain isn’t something we’re expecting to come around until May but this year has clearly made an exception. Tuesday evening the city was draped over a thick blanket of gray clouds and then all hail broke loose. Highways routes north of the city were blocked with thick layers of hailstones and a lot of people heading out towards the beaches this Holy Weekend were completely halt in their cars were nearly 20,000 families probably heard the news of Gabriel García Marquez passing and started tweeting about it.

As for this part of town, our drainage system allows us to admire these artificial shorelines created on our very own sidewalks.
