It's RAINING! For the first time since I arrived in Athens, and for the first time in Athens in literally months. They've had a severe drought that was only made worse by the fires this summer, and Athenians have all been praying for rain to help relieve the drought and also clear the air of particles that have been hanging around since the fires (people with serious allergies have been having major problems since they got here).
It started around 4:30 and has been getting steadily heavier - the streets of Kolonaki are completely flooded and extremely slick. Thankfully I was wearing sneakers (we went on a trip today to Ramnous and Marathon - longer entries about this weekend and last weekend to come very soon) and had an umbrella, so I was loving it!
Here's a picture from my balcony, if you look close you can see the lines of rain falling.
