FYI #6 The Rain in Spain

No, I'm not in Spain. Quite the opposite hemisphere, actually. But if the rain in Spain falls gently on the plane, then the rain in New Zealand pours heavily on the ground, against the windows, up on the rooftops, and under the umbrella. During this time, world is covered in a heavy mist; just enough to soak you. About five seconds later, the rain stops and the sun is out as though the rain were never there.

Sometimes the rain is so light that you're not sure if it's even raining. Maybe it feels like you're walking through a cloud, but by the end of it, you still manage to be soaked. And again, the sun comes out, and you feel as though it were only a dream.

Island living.


But the rainbows here are beautiful.
