LUG:

We got caught in a torrential downpour today walking back from a 
remote village.  A tropical depression is sitting over Honduras and 
we've had unbelievable amounts of rain in the last couple of days.  I 
was totally drenched.  My boots filled with water from the rain even 
before we had to wade across a knee-deep stream.  There was no way I 
could keep my M8's dry under a poncho blowing in the wind.  I was 
worried, but they are both fine and I just downloaded today's 
photos.  I'm sure telling these tail I'll never be able to sell 
anybody on the LUG my used cameras ;-) but I'm just happy Leica's are 
still so durable.  I went out and bought a hair-dryer which is now 
drying my boots for tomorrow's hike.

Leically,

Tina
