"The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain..."

"The rain in Spain falls mainly on the plain..."

Interesting sentiment.

Unfortunately not true in Sevilla this week, seeing as I see no plains in this city and quite a lot of rain. My feet are stained black from the dye on my shoes and I have trudged through more puddles that I care to count back and forth from class. Yesterday I got caught in a torrential downpour on the way to class, and neither my raincoat nor my umbrella did much to keep my dry, and today I was stuck at CLIC for 45 minutes, unable to leave as a result of another downpour. Sevilla, apparently, is as fickle as New England, and no sooner did it stop pouring than the sun came out and the temperature escalated to about 85 degrees.

Sevilla, I would appreciate it if you would make up your mind. Or that Abril, llueves mil, becomes May flowers tan pronto como posible. Gracias.
