LOL -- one of the guys on our bike trip down the volcano is from Portland, OR. He was *really* enjoying the "dry" weather. "Dry" being a relative term - the day we arrived, it had finished a pretty good rain day. While we were there, we had some occasional showers, very humid.
mom & dad just left here today ... we are having our fourth wettest january, and wettest january since 1980,
Besides it having rained about 41 of the last 44 days ...
Not like the semi-arid land in SoCal..
