Happiness in the Rain

Most people don't like the rain. You can't go outside. Everything gets wet and moldy. People get headaches in the rain. Backaches, knee pains, you name it. People don't like the rain.

On the other hand, rain brings people closer together.

Allow me to provide an example.
We're in Aix en Provence - France. Trying to make the best of it and profit fully from every situation good and bad. So then when we looked outside at the torrents of rain... what do we do?
At first we were sad...we've been going out so much - we didn't know how to stay in our apartment!

So what did we d0?
We all ran to our appartments and grabbed whatever leftovers we could find.
We shared an umbrella and went over to the boulangerie next door and bought a baguette.

What did we do?
We put some tables together near a window and watched the rain while eating a home cooked meal. We joked around. We listened to music. And we just sat there and watched the rain.

And honestly, that was one of the best lunches I've had on this trip.
Being in such an incredible place sometimes makes you forget about the inredible people your with as well.

And even though just staying in the appartment one day isn't exactly making the most of Aix...it was.
