Just when we thought we were experiencing a little overload from too much sightseeing and museum hopping, it rained.  What a lovely reprieve.  We stayed in, did the wash, read our books and even made a special trip down to the main office to connect to the internet for a few minutes.

After all the sun and beauty of the past few weeks, we relished the cool beauty of the gentle rain.  It didn’t prevent us from eating out on the deck nor from being grateful for the grace of this place and time.
