Southern summer


Fridays in March & April are short day at CDF.  We work from 7:30-3 and they bring in lunch.  I'm told this is just till the weather starts to cool down in April.   Last Friday I had roasted chicken with broccoli & potatoes.  The week before lunch was chicken lasagna.  One Friday is was plantain (banana) mashed together with onion & fish and deep-fried.  It was pretty good. 

We are only a week into April and it seems like the weather is beginning to cool a bit.  We haven’t had rain in quite a while although it is often cloudy & comfortably cool in the morning.  The clouds seem to hang around the highlands much of the day.   I’m told that is typical for June to December weather.  Like any change of seasons, it isn’t going to happen all at once on a specific day.  I anticipate more hot humid days before it settles into the next season.  I’m not sure what to call the seasons here but since Galapagos is in the southern hemisphere by a few miles, I’ll call January to June summer and June to December winter.
