 Another shot from a wet Friday lunch hour. I went up to the place where I get my hair cut and asked if I could stand out on their balcony, in the rain, for a bit. Since I'd just had my hair cut there the week before, I guess they figured I didn't intend anything untoward. Or the lady I asked didn't speak English and just said OK...
