When I was about 27 years old, it was pouring down rain. I was waiting with about 20 people just inside the doors of a store for the rain to let up a bit. After about two minutes, I said "I haven't done this in years!" and slowly walked out, approached the largest puddle, then jumped up and down in it about ten times. I got soaked but hey, it was a blast! I drove home (less than a mile away) and took a hot shower.
During my stay in Ecuador we would be caught in the rain every afternoon. Sometimes you could plan your day around the rain fall, because it seemed to have a schedual.
One day, some friends and I were taking a bus to this artisan village and had to take the trolly, cab and a bus to get to the bus station. As well as walk about four or five blocks to where our bus was going to stop. Enroute, it began to pour. Not any old hard rain, but a tropical down pour that causes flooding in seconds.
Holes and containers were filled rapidely by the rain. Drains were clogged and flooding occured in the dips along the roads and under bridges. (I actually stepped into a hole that was up to my knee.) We watched as cars tried to drive through underpasses that were flooded, the water about a foot up their doors.
Thankfully we were taking the bus, which was tall enough so that no water gushed underneath the doors. But we aslo had to ride around dripping wet for a few hours, until we reached our hotel. It was worth every minute.

Ah, understood. But some people really do like the water in the shoes and socks thing. I would rather be bare foot, in the grass and all that. It's a nice sensation.

jlw45: i would'nt say nothing to them....in fact...i would bring a video camera
Hadn't thought of that. Though wished I had my camera the other day when a lady was peed on by a Ridgeback. She hadn't a clue seeing as how she had paints on. We told her, but it took a while cause we were laughing so hard. nearly piddled myself.
