This is the rainy season in Goiania and today we got quite a bit. We were going to pick up the car after some repair and as we were talking to the people at Renault, the rain started. HEAVY! The road outside was turned into a river in 10 minutes, lightening flashed and thunder roamed.
When we got home, I managed to take these pictures, but then it had already calmed down a bit, and after another hour the river was gone from the road outside our house. It would be interesting to know exactly how much rain is coming down when it rains like this. If I can find a weatherstation that is not too expensive, I will put one up here and connect it to the internet so you can all see.
Tomorrow we will go to Caldas Novas. This is a place a couple of hours drive south of Goiania and that was the reason why we went to Renault to check the car. I did not expect that they would find as much as they did, but I am now sure we will not have any kind of car trouble.
I will bring my laptop, but I am not sure I will be able to connect there. Anyway - I am back in Goiania on Sunday.
