So Begins the Rainy Season - 2013

 Our first major rain storm and we were so excited to be inside - the mall. We didn't realized that the INSIDE parking would get flooded!
 Roger braved the water, soaking his shoes, but got the car and came to pick us up.
 We aren't use to "tiny ripples in the parking lot"!
 We got out of the lot only to find traffic was completely stopped.  It took us one hour
 to drive one block around the mall! It was crazy! People even took off their shoes to 
walk bare foot and save their shoes from being ruined!
 A few days later we came to our first "river"!
 "Shall we turn around?" "No, we are going through!!!"
 Just a little walk through a little stream!
 By the time we reached the big street, Commonwealth, five lanes going east had 
turned into seven  lanes. As we inched along we were all merging left.
 As a jeepney passed us on the right we saw the problem. 
We were coming to a major LAKE!
 Soon we were just two lanes trying to get by the water.
  Then we realized how very deep the water was!
 The kids had turned it into a swimming pool! Glad Dad was there to life-guard!
