a little rain during my holiday in Athens

I meant to say that as I stepped out of my hotel on my first day in Athens, I found that it was raining. Oh no, i thought, this is going to suck. After such a long hard winter, I wanted a bit of sun and warmth.

I should say that the rain in Athens was fairly pathetic. Water came from the sky, but it was very light. Everything would be dry after 1 hour or so. When I lived in Glasgow, it rained every day for a month. This got me very depressed. I am not sure that I could manage more than a straight month of rain.
