a car in puebla just causes problems

so... here are my clothes after the rain storm today... i've always thought it was interesting how one can be soaking wet yet still have dry spots on ones clothing... you can see the dry spot on the back on the left leg.  I imagine there was a similar dry spot on the back of the right pant leg too...but the flooded roads mixed with no a/c fixed that problem.  You cant really see the shirt, but there is a dry spot on the right side of the shirt... rimmed by a weird dirty stain. and another strange spot on the left side.

the story?

lets begin with me living in puebla for two years then bringing my fiancee to puebla, marrying him, and now, living "normal" daily life with him instead by myself as i was so use to.  this means, working everyday for me, and Israel not having much to do.  now, that we have established the stage, here is the middle:  this afternoon.
Israel was bored (because he has nothing to do)... I was tired (because I had just started with kids)... but i agreed to go to the park with him so he could run and get out of the house.  Even though, we waited so long to leave, the sun was shinning.
"which park do you want to go to?"
"the same park as always? or do you want to go to another one?"
"ok, well lets just drive and you can show me the park so i can come tomorrow"
So we drove.  and got to the park.  we decided to check out the park, walking around seeing what there is...
soon after we entered the park, there were a few rain drops, but we didnt mind.  then it stared to pour and we did mind.  but we were under an awning so not so bad... anyway, we stayed for a while but it didnt look like it was going to let up and it was getting more and more cold.  so we ran.  through puddles, some of which easily came up past my ankles.  by the time i got to the car, i was soaked.  You might think that the run to the car was the end of the rain story.  but wait.  in mexico, or at least in puebla, the streets FLOOD.  and we have a car without a/c and large engine that pushes heat into the car interior.  Nedless to say, in order for the windshield to fog less, we have to keep the window down a little.  this results in getting rain and hail inside the car while driving.  not ony that, but mix flooded streets, driving cars and busses, and open windows you get something that is quite impressive.
this is the point of this really long story:
I wish i had gotten a picture or video... a bus or truck or something came up alongside israel.  the next thing we knew water can in through his window (open about 3 inches) and sprayed all over him.  at the same moment the water was pushed onto the car and and stayed there, blurring the windshield for a long time, it seemed like minutes becuase we couldnt see the road AT ALL.  finally, the water found it way off the car, but unfortunalty, that meant going down the car doors and straight into MY open window.

and this is why my right pant leg was completely soaked while the left had a dry spot in the picture.

and yes, all this to explain the silly picture that i took one thursday afternoon.
