2. A last-minute dinner party held in Michael’s (and Julia’s) front yard.<\/p>\n

We were half a mile from shelter when the skies opened up, soaking us through and through. We went back, dried off, put on our bathing suits (which were dry, as opposed to our clothes), and went back out for another walk.
