When Slovaks say it will rain...

it's really going to rain. By now I should have learned that they know how to predict the weather. I don't see them watching the weather report or reading it in the newspaper, but everytime they tell me the weather they are right. A couple of weeks ago Kristen and I were leaving to go into Poprad and the sun was shining brightly. My system here is to look outside and just dress according to how it looks. Well, it looked nice so I didn't think I needed a jacket or umbrella. One of the guys, Gabko told us it was going to storm, but I looked at the sky and it looked so clear so I said it was okay and we left. We get into Poprad and sure enough it starts pooring and storming. Then once again today, it looked nice outside and we were going to Banska Bystrica for the day. As we were leaving Eva told us "it's going to rain, you better take a jacket and umbrella" and once again we thought, no it looks ok. Sure enough halfway to the station it started raining and it rained most of the day. I'm not sure how they know, but I need to learn to just listen to their weather reports.
