| Taking refuge. |
Bogotá's rainy season has arrived. But today we had not only rain but the heaviest hailstorm I've seen during my six years here. During a bike tour, it trapped us in the Central Cemetery, which fortunately has a roofed entranceway, albeit a small one.
The hail quickly painted the cemetery white, as tho dusted by a snow which never falls here. Then the precipitation turned to rain and washed it all away.

| The cemetery is painted white. |
 |
| La Llorona - the statue at the cemetery's entrance, sometimes called 'the weeping one.' She sure appears to be crying today. |

| The rains came, and washed the hail away. |
