Rain, rain, rain

Apparently it never rains in Oman, however when it does there is a great deal of concern!! First of all everyone cheers and the sound of children's laughter can be heard in the distance. Secondly the fear sets in and people rush home to safety. You see, there is no gutter system or drains here, consequently there is no where for the rain to go....except up!!! We were fortunate that the rain didn't last too long, although we did get some pretty massive puddles to play in!! (not shown here, I was too busy splashing away!!)
