Another Face of Rio

Filed under Brazil · Travel

Rain.
Lots of rain.
Rain without stop.

Water pouring off roofs,
running over pathways,
filling up every hole.

Wind howling through streets,
bending umbrellas inside out,
spraying water everywhere.

Traffic backed up everywhere,
splashing through puddles,
wetting passers-by.

Wet.
Very wet.
Shoes, pants, shirt, bag.
Splashed by cars, blown by wind, leaking umbrella.
Temperature warm.
Not so cold.
Just wet.

Rio.
Another face.
