Monsoon birthday

On Monday I got my first impression of the monsoon, the summer rains that last from June to September. We decided to go out to dinner to celebrate Caroline's birthday (one of the interns). We started walking and were just commenting on how the weather was so nice, when the first heavy raindrops began to fall. In five minutes it was raining very hard and we were absolutely soaked. We were also lost and did not know how to get back to the house. But, maybe because it was the first time, it didn't really matter. After all the heat of the previous days the rain comes to cool everything down and is very enjoyable. Not so much the puddles and the state of the roads afterwards. Oh well.
