Yesterday, we walked the Ancient Path into Uzes...it had rained in the morning, but
the weather promised to be sunny as of, about Noon! So, off we went, 3 miles through the fields
and stone walls, in the sunshine! We had lunch, and shopped a bit. We signed up in
the club for new locals, so that we can take French lessons!...and about 3 o'clock, we
headed for home!
Oh My! There was ONE big black cloud off to the west! A bit worrisome, so we made a point
of walking quickly! My brother Roger has the uncanny ability to read the weather, as a result of
being a boater...his big sister....Not so much!
It started to rain about a mile from home, and down it came! A Spring storm, gully washer!
All the ditches on the side of the road which are about 3 to 4 feet deep were gushing with
water, within about 5 minutes! Problem was....there was absolutely NO shelter, and it started to thunder and lightning! Yikes! We took shelter about ten minutes after it started to rain, next to a house...a slight overhang, around the corner from the direction of the wind, helped to some extent, but
we were really drenched to the core!...clear through ALL our clothes!...to the skin!
We felt like we were in a romantic movie! ...except for the 3 or 4 lightning strikes, a bit too close for comfort! Next time, we stay in town and find a nice cafe!
