I was at Immigration today picking up my residency card (I am now officially a resident of Honduras!) and it was down pouring. So much so that it was hard to see outside. People here (especially the women) will put anything on their heads to "protect" them from the rain. Most women opt for a plastic bag if they don't have an umbrella. Today I saw a women wearing a washcloth on her head. It would have helped for maybe 0.25 seconds in the downpour. I had to hold my laughter in, but the woman seemed to think it helped.
But, I probably got more looks than she did. I wore a rain jacket with a hood. I got all sorts of looks and people didn't even bat an eye at the lady with the washcloth on her head. Just another difference in cultures during rainy season!
