The weather today was rainy, then sunny, then sunny some more, then rainy, then overcast, then sunny, now rainy. I was contemplating living in a rainforest. We get over 100 inches of rainfall per year. Average temperature is in the 70s and average humidity is higher than that. Rainforests cover 6% of the Earth's surface but produce 40% of our oxygen. More than half of all plant and animal species live in rainforests. Unfortunately, most of them are bugs.
Things I hate about the rainforest: mildew and cockroaches. Things I love about the rainforest: fresh fruit year round, rainbows, rain drumming (pounding) on our metal roof, waterfalls, geckos, and the smell of puakenikeni. Oh, the rain stopped. Here comes the sunshine.
