Enjoy the rain!
Today, Josh (my best friend) had to go to his uncle's ranch. He asked me to join him. I love nature so i accepted right away. We went in his car and talked a lot about nothing in particular, but it was really fun. For me it was exciting to leave the city behind and watch the empty roads and mountains.
Two hours later, we arrived and his uncle's wasn't in the house so we walked around the property looking for him. There were a lot of mango trees. I supposed his uncle wouldn't mind if i took one (i love the green ones because they are sour).
We found his uncle after a long walk. They talked a little bit while i was finishing my mango. Then started to rain all of a sudden. We hurried up but the house was still far away and we were already wet from head to toes. I slowed down and decided to walk. Instead of running from the rain i was going to enjoy it.
When i was younger, my parents had a little house in the Venezuelan plain or llano. Everytime it rained i went outside and walk/run/play around the property in my bathing suit, barefoot. it was really fun for me! Call me crazy but i loved the cold water falling everywhere and the weird sensation of the wet argillaceous ground in my feet.
Today i was fully clothed but still was a refreshing experience. When you are surrounded by nature and it's raining, the whole scenario change. I dont know, that's the way i see it. Maybe i was feeling nostalgic.
Once inside the house, i wear borrowed clothes while everything was in the dryer machine. We returned to the city in the afternoon, when the night was falling. I took a couple of pictures when my cellphone baterry was fully charged.

That's all for today, i'm sure tomorrow i will wake up feeling sick but i won't complain... i think. I bought some medicine just in case.

Oh my heavens!! I LOVE the rain! You really brought back a flood of memories with the description of your day.
As a boy, I would run or walk in the rain while wearing my swimming trunks (until my mother saw me and, fearing I would catch a cold, told me to come inside).
In high school, I would always put on a raincoat and walk through our neighborhood. Now, I still enjoy the rain, just not as much as I did then.
I hope the green mango did not make you sick. I love your writing style!
