Rainy Season

It´s rainy season in Cusco, and it hasn´t taken me long to figure out that the weather here is a pain in the pompis. I thought the weather in Quito was crazy, but it wasn´t quite like this. When I leave the house, it will be very cold and rainy, so I´ll bundle up and wear a rain jacket. Three blocks later, I´m shedding all my layers and working up a sweat because the sun came out and it´s warm immediately. It works the other way around, too. The other day when they took us on a "practical" city tour (showing us the markets, the good restaurants, pharmacy, etc.) my rain coat was off and on for 2 hours. I think I need to invest ($1) in an umbrella. It may be a bit easier.
