The Rain

Today we the first day of classes, after a brief lesson we took a walking tour of old town Heidelberg. Just as we reached the University it began to rain. Of course, I have been carrying an umbrella for 3 days now anticipating rain, but today it looked clear so I left it at home. By the time we were able to take the bus back, and made it thru the grocery store in a mild rain, it began to pour. So there we are like 4 drown rats standing there with our heads and jackets soaked from the rain, finally huddled under the trolly stop for protection, when a car speeding down the street rides a bit too close to the curb and soaks us with water. Soon we found ourselves standing behind the glas of the trolley stop, because the rain from above was safer then the soaking from the speeding cars. One girl was even using her umbrella to cover her legs from the street while standing under the trolley stop to protect her head. Sorry no pictures of this one, did not want to damager the camera with all the water...
