Typhoon Wipha (Part 2 of 2)

Well, China was right, there really wasn't any news about the typhoon. At least not in Shanghai. It missed us by a long shot and it didn't rain as much yesterday as it did the day before when the storm was out over Taiwan. All is well. Our coffee was delivered. We found coffee filters and we spent the afternoon indoors drinking inky cups of espresso watching the rain. We might as well have been in Seattle.

Here's a picture of Peter riding home from school in the storm. We have these awesome Chinese ponchos that clip onto our bikes, so everything in our baskets stays dry. Very convenient. Too bad people in Seattle are too cool to wear something like this. They would have come in so handy. Maybe if Mountain Hardware started making them out of a breathable, waterproof microfiber and charged $250 for them, they would catch on.
