Rain showers struck down town Sunday evening pelting the capital city with hail and strong wind gusts. As restaurant patrons ran for the cover of trees and inside shops, four Peace Corps volunteers in complete disregard for appropriate behavior in poor weather stayed at their table.

| Before: just a few drops, nothing we couldn't handle... | After: we had just taken a Namibian bath. Refreshing! |

| As I rang my clothes out the question "what was the point of doing that" entered my mind the last time. | Shoni managed to scarf down her cake before the heavy rain started. |
After minutes they were soaked through, shivering as ice bounced off their heads and shoulders.
"We wanted to see if we could out last the storm" said Shoni, Health Volunteer from Keetmanshop.
When explaining why they didn't shield themselves from the onslaught of rain and hail, Mike, Science teacher from Tess said "I didn't want to be the first one to stand up and run for cover."
After twenty torrential minutes the rain stopped, leaving the four crazy volunteers soaked, cold and looking rather odd.
The four then asked for a waitress to take their picture, after which they paid their bill with a wet twenty and walked off, ringing their clothes out as they walked.
