A Wet Adventure

Yesterday Colleen and I had an epic adventure. After a very indecisive morning, the weather finally cleared and it looked like it was going to be a good day. We decided to take advantage of the sun and take a walk to the bed and breakfast that her sisters are going to be staying at. Now, we knew the walk is about an hour one way, so we were prepared for quite a trek, and she had persuaded me to come with the promise of a cab ride back. So after making a pit stop at the library, our adventure began. We were about half way when we heard the thunder and started to worry. Although the sky at our backs was a cheery blue, it looked as if we were walking into a hurricane. This was also about the time that she saw lightening, which she didn't tell me because she didn't want me to turn back. Which we definitely should have done, because about five minutes later the rain started to come down in sheets. True, I had an umbrella, but when the wind is whipping around it's not completely useful (especially because it is really cute which forces me to be over protective of it). So we ran into a cafe to take some much-needed shelter. Half an hour later, we set out again, after being lured out with the slowing rain. How wrong we were! As soon as we left it started to pour again. One hotel lobby and two pairs of soaked jeans later, we finally arrived at our destination. This bed and breakfast must be the farthest hotel from the city center (which she has not yet told her unsuspecting sisters). I did however learn some very important lessons from this: 1)Never trust Colleen when it comes to weather and 2) There is nothing like hot tea and pajama pants to make a rainy day well worth it.
