Monsoon Madness

Thursday night while sitting on the balcony having dinner in Nick's Italia Cafe, it started to rain.  Well rain isn't quite the word, it started off like an April shower, so we moved seats.  A few minutes later it became more like a windy, wet Autumn night, five minutes after that I thought we were going to get blown off the side of the mountain.  We had to move so far, we were huddled up together with a group of about 15 other diners.  OMG I have never ever, not even the time I drove to Edinburgh, seen rain like it.  The tarpoling over the cafe was so full of water and getting bigger every second it look as if we were going to be wiped out by a tidal wave of water.  Every time the wind changed direction it blew the rain towards us, before we knew it the puddles on the ground got deeper and deeper.  We could not stop laughing, as the waiters continued to serve food in the monsoon weather.  Add to the rain, thunder echoing off the mountains and lightening that lit up the skies like a lazer beam it was truly magnificent.  We waited until the rain had subsided a bit and then made a run for it. This was by far the most entertaining dining experience I have had.
