Ahhh...New England in the summer

It has been raining most of the day - during the trek in to school, it was raining 'wicked haahd', which made travel difficult (and extremely soggy). You don't get rain like that on the prairies. It rains hard, but for a brief time (and usually only late in the evening or overnight), so it doesn't affect you unless you're a night owl or work overnights.

Here, this hard rain just kept coming and coming. Even with an umbrella, you're soaked quickly. Worst part today was that my sandals got so wet, and my feet inside them, that my feet started sliding around in them, and within about three blocks, I had a wicked blister on one foot - and this is from sandals that usually are the most comfy things around. Ouch. Takes all the fun outta meeting a friend on Newbury Street and having lunch together, though we made it a long lunch and by the time we'd dried out, the rain had let up a bit and we could walk without being entirely soaked. The good food and great company made up for the soggy weather though.
