Just as I got my first glimpse of the hill town where I'm spending the night, the sun peeked out for the first time all day and made the village glow. Then the worst deluge of the day soaked me through and through.
In fact it has been so wet that the cobblestones have begun to curl.
Last night after ordering dinner it began to rain in earnest. When I didn't think it could rain any harder, the downpour doubled. And then again. The lights flickered every time the lightning flashed and it was hard to hear over the crash of thunder and rain on the roof. Suddenly the ceiling of this fancy restaurant began to cave in and water cascaded onto many of the patrons. Pandemonium ensued with people running and screaming, and staff members bringing pots and pans from the kitchen to catch the water (completely ignoring the scrambling guests). Meanwhile from my still-dry little table I calmly continued eating my truffles and coquilles st jacques, while enjoying the show. I wonder how I will be entertained tonight?
Same deluge in Paris! Just to let you know, Doug screamed is that all you got? He's the culprit!
