I'm skipping over the first part of your journey. When we got to our room with a view, the first thing Jen did was set up a little housekeeping.
Yup, we got rained upon. Why not? Weather is what it is, a definitive now, if you will. All predictions, good or bad, are still combinations of science and intuition. You'll see the first two pair of socks that needed drying. I used the second two pairs to absorb water from my shoes. So glad that I packed six pairs, because by the time I'd run through these in the name of wet weather, I still had two more pair--one to wear and one to hoard. Should I ever plan another expedition, sleeping socks are on the list.
