bmh Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Ok what is a rainy day in Mexico CIty like, I think big cities are the only place where I enjoy the rain because they are many interesting things to do inside! I hate the rain in the country but it does not bother me in a big city. What does one do in Mexico City during a rainy day? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Liana Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Well, on this rainy day we are getting ready to leave for New York--so it's atypical. Getting down suitcases, making sure all the house chores are done, leaving notes for the house sitter. Judy played her cello for quite a while, lovely. And I wrote an article. Our comida was from our faithful rosticería around the corner--wonderful roast chicken! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Travis Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 A rainy night in Ajijic: Wake up at 3am to a ridiculously loud downpour. Jump out of bed and move through the house shutting all the windows, shoving the furniture on the terrace into the interior to keep in semi-dry, then stand at the edge of the terrace getting wet, watching the magnificent lightening and delighting in the torrential rain. With a cigarette. (I know, I know...) Have a great trip to NY! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KathyTX Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 It depends on where you are from. I grew up where people said lightning, or rather, laitning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Don Cuevas Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Laht-nin: Where we live in Michoacán, they call it "rayos de luz", or even "cuchillos de luz". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Jajaja. Thanks for the correction. I grew up where there isn't any (So. California coast), so that's my excuse for the typo/mispelling. And yes, I know how to spell it lightning correctly. If I think about it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Liana Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Laht-nin: Where we live in Michoacán, they call it "rayos de luz", or even "cuchillos de luz". En Michoacán hace varios años se le cayó a un amigo un rayo y lo mató. Ojo con los rayos. In Michoacán few years ago, a lightning bolt hit a friend and killed him. Be careful with lightning. This is true, his name was Emilio Gutiérrez Cortés. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The world's best climate Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 yes! I am afraid of the "rayos" because they (I have heard) kill people sometimes.....I want to die in my bed sleeping..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mainecoons Posted June 20, 2013 Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 More, are you guys getting rain off the tropical storm yet? We're hoping some of that will make its way over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
More Liana Posted June 20, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 20, 2013 Mainecoons, it's been raining on and off here for the last two days, sometimes pouring but mostly just a drizzle. Cloudy all day. If it's heading for you, I hope it blows out of here tonight or in the morning. We're flying to NY in the afternoon and I hate to fly in 'bad' weather.
