At about 5pm it started raining. Quick rain showers are very common here. They only last about 5-8 minutes, and they usually only consist of sprinkles. This rain, was completely different. It started out by coming down pretty hard, and after 10 minutes it was still going. I was so psyched! I put on my sandal, shut the door, ran down stairs and out into the rain. After standing there for a few minutes, I decided that I probably looked a little strange just standing there in the rain, so I started walking (because walking in the rain is FAR less nutcase-ish than standing in it ;) I walked all the way down to the light at the end of the street (a couple hundred yards), crossed the street and started heading back on the other side of the road, and that's when the rain really started to pour. I loved every minute of the rain! It was so cool and refreshing =)
