Cloudburst in Tamarindo
Costa Rica 3 252, originally uploaded by Mic2006.
When it rains in Costa Rica – it really rains. At the beginning of the rainy season in Tamarindo the town quicky transforms from dry and dusty to wet and sloppy. After the first three rains the parched forest thereabouts begins oozing life from beneath the soil – first the baby tarantulas, shortly thereafter the land crabs in their millions and then the green lizards.
At the onset of this cloudburst we took shelter in a bar – my only complaint being the lady who tended the bar. First it was near impossible to get her attention as she was talking with friends – then sullen service and a massive rip-off with my change.
