Autumn Rain

Fall is definitely here in Hiroshima. For the past two weeks or so we've had sprints of heavy rain lasting up to five days at a time. Which probably is about  normal for this season, but for a California girl it's very trying. After a few days without the sun I start going, "Is this world even worth living in anymore????"

I had better get tougher before winter comes.

However, I did manage to buy actual rain boots before the heavy rain started in earnest. I've had a lot of fun wearing them around. After my black boots finally expired last spring (a bit of gravel worked through the sole without me noticing and since then the water seeps in), it's been good to have waterproof shoes again.
