Sunny Days

The weather in Pucon is similar to what I imagine it to be like in parts of Washington State.  The summer, which here is January and February, is lovely; warm sunny days, sometimes even hot.  But everyone here will warn you that come winter, which in Pucon begins on March 1 (corresponding to the end of the tourist season) it rains A LOT.  Day after day it rains. And not just drizzle.  Big rain.  For days on end.   And cold.  Oh so cold they tell us. 
So, all through March we keep thinking that any day now the weather is going to change and the rain is going to start.  So each day when we wake up and the weather is lovely, we feel compelled to go out into the world and have an adventure.  Because somehow in the back of our minds we know the sunny days are numbered.  We must take advantage we think to ourselves.  Hence, today I will share some of our sunny day adventures.

The water is cold!  But no crowds today!

Picnic with our friend Jose Antonio before hiking to Salto Claro





This is just the bottom half of this amazing waterfall!

It's not that I don't believe them.  I know it is someday going to rain, but so far we adore the winter. It is nearly the end of March and the days have all been gorgeous.

All the crowds are gone.  There are no parking fees to pay, the beach is ours alone, the town melllow and lovely.  And so many many adventures to be had!
