October is supposed to be a dry month in Mexico City. With the start of winter, the summer rains subside .

This year though, it keeps raining. Several hurricanes have hit the Mexican coast, and while we don’t get them here in the capital, the remaining rain clouds cross the city and let it rain intensively.

Normally, it rains every day, some time between 5pm and 7pm, more or less long and heavy, sometimes accompanied by some thunder and lightning.

Yesterday I wanted to go out with a friend, but as I hadn’t heard back, I quickly joined Ulises for a quesadilla, and then went to a local bar for a beer.

There, we were stuck for an hour in more than torrential rain. There was no way to get out, we would have been soaked after a few steps.

That didn’t stop this couple though, who gladly danced in the rain.  I guess nothing will stop a true Mexican from having a good time…
