Rained IN

Last night we got “rained in”. And hailed! And lightning’d!

We were enjoying our dinner meal (the pilgrim menu for me with sweet rice with langostinos as first course, red peppers stuffed with cheese and cod as second course, and cheesecake for dessert; and a Spanish take on “hot dog” for Sean!) when the thunderstorm hit.

We had been eating under the shade of a garden umbrella but the wind was starting to take them down. I rushed back to the albergue to get another layer of clothing and that’s when the hail started! By the time I got back they were moving everyone under shelter and then eventually indoors where we finished our meals—all slightly wetter.

The picture shows where our table WAS, after they collapsed the umbrellas to prevent further knock overs.

A delightful weather event to partake with my Air National Guard weather specialist. As Sean said, “dinner and a show!”Läs mer
