Getting caught in the rain

On our second day here Kim and I walked to our meeting with our boss. Big mistake. When we were about five minutes from his office the heavens opened up and rain came forth like water from a tap. If you haven't experienced a tropical rain storm before it is hard to imagine the sheer amount of rain that pours from the sky. We waited for a little while under an awning with a cute couple who were all dressed up to have their wedding pictures done in the little park near our boss' office. As time ticked away we grew a little concerned that we would be late for the meeting so we decided to chance the rain. We got soaked, completely and utterly drenched. The moment we stepped out from under the awning and onto the street we found ourselves in ankle deep water running along the edge of the street. With Kim giggling behind me, I ran for the nearest shelter. By the time we arrived at Colin's office we looked as though we had swam rather than walked. We had a good meeting but when we stood up to leave we both noticed with chagrin that we had left huge wet butt prints on the seats of the office chairs.
