First comes hail, then comes rain
Well, summer leapfrogged spring here in Sofia (or so everyone tells me) and it seems that the weather wants to compensate instead of go along with the change. I was walking to the downtown of Sofia when I began to see giant rain drops begin to dot the sidewalks. I pull out my umbrella (which I had the foresight to pack into my bag) and the next thing I know, little thumb-tack sized balls of hail are bouncing off of the sidewalk! I walked a couple of hundred
more feet, gazing at awe at the size when the sky opened up and the hail rained down. I ran under a tree for extra protection and watched the downpour of hail with a few other surprised Bulgarians. My handy-dandy camera had a video record feature, so I captured about a minute of the downpour of hail before it turned into rain. My favorite moment had to be the granny crossing the large street in the midst of the downpour, inching along while the traffic waited for her to cross. Alas I did not pull my camera out fast enough (I know, the irony) to capture the moment.
