We drove to Plymouth this morning. There's a shop down there that will be selling some of my photos and I wanted to check out its location. Not only did we find the shop, but a beautiful seaside city as well. Just minutes after arriving we were attacked by the weather... At first there were these thick grey clouds of humidity that shrouded everything, slithering about and licking anything in its path. Oh how I hate humidity! But it was still nice to get out and walk around the town, taking in some new sights... And then it began to rain with a vengeance. I'm not sure I've ever seen it come down quite so hard. It was like being hit with fistfulls of rain that had been thrown from legions of angry hands, splintering and shattering into sharp glass slivers that had no mercy. This rainy weather has got to stop. How much time can we spend inside waiting for it to go away?
We had lunch down by the docks and watched out the window as a few hardy souls tried to pretend that "it" wasn't happening. There was a woman out walking with four young children. I think two of them must have been little boy twins about 5 or 6 years old. One of them had on a powder blue raincoat with matching powder blue boots, the other had on a yellow raincoat and matching yellow boots. Mom was getting drenched but these little boys had two days worth of fun jumping in puddles and splashing each other. Wish I could have taken that picture!
