Rain

I'm finally experiencing the rain! The locals say it usually rains and then goes away so to always carry an umbrella. But today is one of those times that it rains all day. It doesn't pour down (as it often does in VA and NC) but the wind is brutal. Most locals use umbrellas, but I found it annoying with the wind. Luckily I have an awesome North Face rain jacket that does not allow a drop through. The locals also do not wear rain boots - I suppose it's not fashionable. They wear variations of leather boots and shoes. Now I am warm in my apartment with my pants drying on a rack over my heater...
