September 24
One of the things I have noticed more recently is the impeccable memory of
Cape Verdians or maybe its just in Maio. I¹m not sure. The topic of rain
comes up often in conversation, more often, complaining about the lack of
rain this year and how that is bad. But more so, people here will tell me
which days it rained last year, the last rain from last year and how many
times it rained. I guess when something that important happens you remember
when it does. But people also know exactly what day I came back to Calheta
for demystification with the trainees and other details that I don¹t ever
think to remember.
