Are we in Venice?

When it's raining outside, Nagarote can feel a little bit like Venice.


Since the city doesn't have a storm drain system, the rain water simply runs down the streets. And those streets can get quite flooded during a storm. In most cases, the water disappears almost immediately after the rain. But, Angela took this picture of a street that looked like a Venetian canal. Angela took the picture while riding in a bixi (bicycle taxi).

Here's what it looks like during the rain.


And here's a short video I took during the rain.
