Today I discovered what rain means in Joinville. It has been pouring buckets all day. I was planning on walking from work to the center to catch the bus, but the rain was (and still is) strong enough to take a shower in it. So instead, I waited for Josmar and the convey to return and had a ride to the center. In the meantime, I there was a class on how to give manicures at the Institute, and now my nails are beautifully painted. It is also probably a good thing that I didn´t walk to the center since the area around the center was very flooded. The surrounding areas were not as flooded.

Apparently I need to get a larger umbrella.

Update on Tuesday, the 5th of June at 22:50: it finally stopped raining. Thank goodness, or I would need to invest in a boat, or at least a canoe. Apparently this isn't the most flooded it has been here. However, this can be said: #thatmomentwhenyourealizehalfofyourclothesarestillwetandyouneedthemtopackforatrip.

Longest hash tag I've ever used that probably does not make sense? Perhaps. But it very accurately defines my current sentiments. Pack for Florianopolis for the four day holiday weekend! Tchau!
