Tell us what else aquacero means in Medellin
[QUOTE=Surfer500;2710497]During a heavy downpour, also known in Spanish as an "aquacero" the puddles can get quite deep, and sometimes it rains so hard, the streets become like rivers.[/QUOTE]I am sure you know, jeje.
I like the way you put, "If you can't handle the rain". I may have undersold the rainy seasons in the past as not effecting what you can do here. After all, mongering is an indoor sport. I schedule my time here without regard to the rainy months. The temperature is so stable and for me that trumps any rain inconvenience. If you are counting on lots of outdoor tours and activities, like a real vacation and not just mongering, then the rain can definitely effect your plans.
Good point about the shoes. My fall back for those in Thailand which has a true rainy season, was wearing rubber flip-slops when wading half-way up your shins.
I would call that bar graph bimodal, meaning two rainy seasons per year
[QUOTE=Wolf662;2710484]Rain amounts per month.[/QUOTE]One peaking in May, the second peaking in Oct.
The 3 month total surrounding each peak is roughly the same or close enough to not say one rainy season is more rainy than the other, with Oct being the single highest month.
Sounds to me like you are going to have a great time
[QUOTE=EverythingBlue;2710579]we all try to create a fantasy within our budget, which after being stuck in pussy prison for awhile it's normal some mongers will want to splurge where possible. Now I hope to report a positive experience soon enough![/QUOTE]And I love your "no holds barred" approach, in the true mongering spirit.
What one guy wrote about conspicuous spending being possibly dangerous is true, so be careful. I had a guy in the Dollar Store line today pick a verbal fight with me for no other reason than I was buying a lot of shit. He even pushed up on me but I didn't feel threatened. He followed me to the door instead of paying for his single item, a bottle of Coke, and yelled at me, "Respect me, respect me!" I smiled and called him crazy which in retrospect I wish I had not done, but I did nothing knowingly to egg him on. I usually get along quite well with strangers.
Let's all Keep On Keepin' On.
