Clear Skies

The weather the last few weeks has been chillier than normal, and the skies have been depressingly overcast.  We have hardly seen the sun at all.  We have also had some rain, even though this is the dry season.  I was wondering if this was because of "El Niño" and if we were going to have gray skies all winter long.  This past weekend the weather pattern finally broke.  It's still chilly, but we had plenty of sunshine.  The long-range forecast calls for mostly clear skies all the way to New Year's Day.   And with the sunshine, the high temperatures are forecast to return to the 70s Fahrenheit where they belong.

Monday morning (I was at Alejandro's family's house), when Alejandro returned from taking his sister to work, he told me to go up to the roof.  There, silhouetted against the pre-dawn sky, were the volcanoes Iztaccíhuatl (left) and Popocatépetl (right).


Welcome back, sunny Mexico!
