It rained but once while we were there. A real rain, the kind you want to record and play back for yourself later to relive the perfect sound of fat drops falling on old stone. I wish I could capture the smell, that heavenly fragrance that isn’t quite petrichor, but its very close cousin, and imbue the pages of this journal with it.
