It’s been raining. That’s an understatement. We were well below normal rainfall until this week. I don’t know where we are now, except under water. It’s beautiful (I say). It’s awful (San Geraldo says). However, I will admit it limits what we can do — except on our newly enclosed terrace!

| ONE OF VERY FEW PEOPLE ON THE STREET (AS SEEN FROM ABOVE). |
 |
| FROM THE DRY AND CYCLONIC-WIND–FREE TERRACE. |
 |
| STANDING IN FRONT OF OUR BUILDING AT 11:00. |
 |
| DEBATING HOW FAR TO WALK FOR COFFEE. |
 |
| BAR BARBORU, BELOW OUR BUILDING, SEEMS LIKE A GOOD IDEA. |
 |
| AROUND THE CORNER EARLY THIS MORNING (ROBBIE, THE CHEF AT BARBORU, SHARED THE PHOTO WITH ME.) |
 |
| THE USUALLY DRY CHANNEL NEARBY. MUDDY WATERS FLOWING DOWN FROM THE MOUNTAINS… |
 |
| …AND CARVING A WIDER CHANNEL INTO THE MEDITERRANEAN SEA. |
 |
| BACK ON THE TERRACE. |
 |
| STILL DRY AND CYCLONIC-WIND–FREE! |
Appropriate music for the day…
