Our First Monsoon

It started over a week ago and we haven't had time to write about it yet. All the rain we experienced last year when we arrived turned out to be a typhoon. Last year there was no monsoon and we thought there would not be one this year either. Everyone said it wasn't coming.

One morning we woke to a grey sky. Checking the Internet we found that the monsoon was starting that morning or at least in 24 hours. We ignored the news and took off for the airport to pick up friends. We headed out for our planned activities and only had to use the umbrellas a couple of times. Heading south we stayed in front of the storm and it didn't catch us until the next day.
