Rainy Days

I want to interrurpt our trip to the North part of the island to tell you about the last couple of rainy days.  The dirt roads around the condo have all of the pot holes, big and little, full of water.  When we ride our bicycles it is almost impossible to get around them.  And, since we do not have fenders on the bikes, the mud splashes up our legs.
There is a little bar and deli down the road called Joes that we go to eat and have a beer quite often.  Many of the people around here congregate there.  It is about two to three blocks from here.

The other evening, after the rain, we did not have much to eat at the condo so we decided to walk over to Mr. Joes for a bite.  We knew the roads would be full of water so we just put on our flip flops and headed out.

I never knew walking thru water with flip flops could be so tricky.  First they are hard to keep on; second, you get all kinds of boulders between your toes, and; third, they flip water up the back of our leg with every step.

But we made it--had a glass of wine, excellent chicken nachos, said Goodbye to some frineds who are heading back home for a while, and flip flopped home.

Yesterday, the Razorbacks won (squeaked by), and we got to Skype with Gail's Father and some of the family. 

Today,the rain is gone and the sun is shining magnificently.
