We actually had rain, real rain! Almost forty-five minutes of rain! Since my husband arrived on April 2nd it has not rained until yesterday. And I actually missed it! I was awake and laying in bed reading and since it wasn't a down pour I didn't hear it. I did receive one text and three phone calls after the rain to ask me if I had seen it! It also made the U.A.E. news. Rain in Abu Dhabi this morning...... Isn't that hysterical? You have to remember I live in a country that has an average of two inches of rainfall per year, after all it is the desert.
Along with the rain came the mud. Oh yeah, everywhere for most of the day. And the car accidents! Twenty four had injuries and that doesn't count the fender benders. Imagine over eight months of oil from cars on the road without a drop of rain to wash it away. And speaking about washing away; my sixth floor apartments windows are no longer dust covered, now they have mud streaks going down them. Lovely! Maybe sometime in the next eight months it could be a down poor, that would be nice. Oh well, you got to laugh!
