We made a visit to Petropolis Brazil today. It was a gorgeous drive through the lush mountain landscape to visit the historical colonial sites in the Rio province. We toured the Imperial palace and local scenery and were caught by surprise with a major thunderstorm with major lightening. Have not seen this much rain in years!

As someone that lives on the east coast, hearing you say haven’t seen this much rain in years carries some weight considering you live in the greater Seattle area!
