We took a trip downtown to see all the lights. It is a fun area of town with lots of shops, cafes and a pedestrian area that I love to just walk around in. It is all lite up and decorated for Christmas so we decided to go and enjoy it.
It started out as a really nice evening, not to cold, lots of people, vendors roasting and selling castanhas (chestnuts) and lots of lights to enjoy. I need to go to my little jewelry store so we headed there and since it was such a pleasant night decided to keep walking... away from the car. Mark the and the girls stepped into a little cafe to get a drink and Lindsey and I keep window shopping. I thought I heard a little rain drop onto an awning we were standing under and the next second it was a torrential downpour... I mean pouring, wind blowing the rain sideways... crazy! We were completely unprepared... the Lisboetta ran for cover, waited for it to slow down, popped out their umbrellas and continued on their way. We had left our umbrellas, in the car... all of them! The girls all had hats, which helped a little but Lindsey and I looked like we had just stepped out of the shower by the time we got back to the car, we felt like it too! It was hilarious, we laughed and came home to warm up by a nice fire and with some good cafe!
