Monsoon season is upon us!

"Oh wait.  Not really.  Just kidding!"  --Mother Nature

The rains started on Saturday.  And boy did it rain.  Monsoon season is about two weeks or so later than it was last year and so I assumed that when the rains started it wouldn't be stopping anytime soon.  But after a day of raining, it stopped shortly after dinner time that same day.

Of course it would rain on the day we did our school trip.  I have to admit that a few times (mostly when we were climbing up or sliding down the side of a mountain) I had the thought, "These people are crazy.  Don't they know that rainy days are perfect for staying indoors, dry?"  But, I suppose if they had that attitude then they would never leave during the summer months.

Despite the rain, the trip was fun.  We hiked a little, went through a cave, ate delicious food, and had good company.  There was also the historical aspect of visiting a king's tomb and visiting where he was exiled so his uncle could rule instead.

Apparently the rains will be back later this week so we'll see if they actually stick around this time.  Right now it's in the upper 80's and sunny.
