"Raindrops are falling on my head".... but it doesn´t stop the carnival! Panama is entering into the rainny season, hated by many but highly appreciated by all nature lovers. This is the time when jungles are greener, wildlife is more active, and rivers are fun to raft. Frankly, there is nothing like running at a jungle during the rain! for those of us who really like mud and the scent of wetness around. You´ll think is crazy, but I really appreciate having rain in Panama. If scientific studies are true, water will be the next oil, and I´m extremely happy to be in a place where it still abundant.  But if you don´t love rain, well, don´t dispair. In Panama, it doesn´t rain all day. Usually is a big rain for half an hour or an hour the most. And then it´s gone. So, enjoy!
