Today a second attempt was made to visit the fair. Last Friday's plans were cancelled due to unexpected guests (Aunty Haseena, Alafiya and Waseem). Which was all well and good since I benefited with gifts plus the 'demolition derby' (old beat up cars playing bumper cars) was this Friday. I am sure that sounds and seems a LOT more fun than a 'tractor pull' (tractors trying to pull weight, and each time additional weight being added) which was last Friday.
This Friday brought with it my new hair cut and and short bouts of rain. As demolition derby and unhealthy treats time approached the rain seemed to have moved away, the weather channel said so too! All set for destruction and tummy treats we left to meet friends at the Shady grove metro. However, a phone call warned us of incredible rains and clouds. As the train pulled into the twinbrook station the sky was half blue and half thunderous black. The thickness of the clouds bode bad news. We got off at the shady grove metro and were welcomed with a sheet of rain. The 30 second walk to my friend's car was rather wet, to say the least. Of course, the landing in a puddle of water couldn't really have made the situation any worse.
Plans needed to be changed! Dinner at Mama Lucias ensued. No complains there! There was ample delicious bread and olive oil :D Followed by a single pizza slice :) It went on to be a fun evening, just not as slam-crash-crunch as I'd imagined.
