RAIN..

I think I posted about this a long time ago when I first started my blog. The first week I lived in Nashville it greeted me with ceaseless showers; then Germany, then Ireland, then Krakow etc. I like to think that I like it, that I get to see the city without its pretty shine for the tourist-gaze.* The de-romanticized version of the place that people will not undeniably fall in love with. Australia is no exception. We watched he rain from our restaurant, where we could see the boats going by on the river, and all of the young Brisbane sophisticates meeting for lunch and looking like models straight out of Topshop. Lets hope it clears up so I can stop being so darn phosphorescent..
