Today is the second day of a 2-day Argentine holiday, a brand new holiday on the seemingly endless slate of Argentine holidays, this one to celebrate Carnaval.
Yesterday we moved out of Ginny's La Estancia house into a rental house in town, a block off the plaza. The house is a series of rooms off a large courtyard. In the night through the wide open windows of our bedroom we heard the hammering of rain & behind it, music & revelry in the plaza.
People are complaining about the rain because it has gone on nearly every day for more than two months, because it is delaying the grape harvest, because it seemed as though it had stopped, because rain this time of year is not normal, because people complain about rain.
I love rain.
