Wearing Damp Underwear
November is the rainiest month of the year in my little home town in rural Costa Rica. It just rains, and rains and rains. It drives Gringos crazy – but the locals rather like it – it is their own unique kind of weather.
I still do my daily bicycle ride – and get soaking wet – but I am naturally waterproof, and it makes no difference. It is even an advantage – it keeps those finicky gringos from living here, and driving up the prices.
The down side is, because all laundry is dried on the line (very few can afford a dryer) you end up wearing damp underwear. This is not as bad as it sounds. The damp underwear quickly dries out as you wear it. The discomfort is only temporary, and no one can tell if your underwear is damp or not.
Except, perhaps, if you are very active sexually – in which case all that body heat quickly takes care of everything.
Great post. I really like your comments on daily life in Costa rica
