Rain

While I was there, it only rained 2 times that I recall.  One time was a pretty heavy downpour as we were driving back to Addis.  I don’t think it lasted for more than 20 minutes.  It was quite amazing to see sheets of water gushing down hills and roads. 

After seeing the voracity of the rain, the erosion  problems became much more understandable.  The rain did clear the air a lot, though!  I really appreciated that.

The only other time was a light rain, barely greater than a mist as we were walking to the Goodbye Ceremony.

Rainy Season starts in June.  I wonder just how different things are depending on whether you are there before, during or after rainy season.
