Rain in L.A.

We had an unusual summer rain today together with thunder. My mom says the weather in L.A. has been strange the last few years. I guess climate change is happening here like everywhere else. Things are becoming a bit unpredictable though some researchers are saying we're in for a drier climate overall in the southwestern U.S., certainly not something which would lead me to expect rain in the summer.

Vimos a mi tia Vicky ayer. Se ve muy bien, rejuvenecida. Le digo que eso se lo tenemos que agradecer a Fidel y a la revolucion.

The kids have been a bit sick with fever. They did better today, but both went to bed early--must've really been tired and needing to recover from days of travelling and not sleeping regular hours.

We saw the movie "Up" today. A tender though sometimes violent movie (paradoxically?). I think the improbable plot was well thought out and the parts seemed to fit together well. Overall a pleasant experience though it can be scary at times for kids.
