Torrential

A lazy Greek afternoon. Keeping out of the humidity inside, reading my favorite blogs. Suddenly, a noise erupts on the balcony. Rain...torrential rain. Snap back to the world of the living, realize there is laundry drying (ostensibly) outside. Jump up, with husband in tow, to pull clothes off the line. Look around and see similar activity on other balconies all around us.

There is much solidarity in this Greek life, it seems.
