The rainy weather continues

We were a little dismayed to wake up this morning and see how wet it was outside, and to see that it was still drizzling.  We wanted it to be dry because we HAD to walk into town today.  We wanted to pick up some bread, and we had ordered a pie that needed to be picked up today.  We wish we could have waited for another day, but the bakery we usually go to was going to close at noon, and they aren't reopening until the second week of January, so today was our last chance to get something from them.

The wind really whipped the rain around on our walk into town - wetting the arms of our jackets and our pant legs.  After picking up the bread and pie (tucking that bread into the safest part of our backpack and having to hold the pie straight in its bag) we walked to the grocery store, which wasn't easy with the wind and rain.  After we got everything done, we considered taking a taxi back to the house, but decided to walk anyway and that turned out to be a good decision because the wind wasn't as bad then, and the rain was a little lighter.
