It was an old boring day. Bleh. The most thing I don't like about boring days is...
HAIL!!!
The most wonderful thing that happened in my whole life. Wow, I loved it. It was really big! My first time seeing actual hail fall from the sky. It's ice. We're going to the mountains where it snows. And, did you know, it snows here?
OK. Actually, the weather was nice in the morning. The kids were at school, Justin was at work. I took Ander out in the stroller to do some errands in town. When I got to the other side of the train station, though, it had started to rain. Of course, I didn't have an umbrella or cover for the stroller. I thought about going home, but remembered that there was no food in the house. Instead of the market shops I planned on going to, I went straight to the close supermarket - then, when we came out, it was sunny and clear again. It stayed nice until the afternoon, when we realized that on one side of the apartment building it was sunny & clear & the other side had very dark grey, ominous clouds. Then, all of a sudden, we heard banging & screaming coming from outside! We looked & huge hail stones were falling - the screams were the neighbor teens hanging out wit their mopeds getting under cover. We all got so excited, that I didn't think to take a picture or movie until it was all over. The photo above is from a while later, after the hail stopped & melted a bit.
It's just another difference from our life in California, but we know we need to be prepared for anything when we leave the house!
