We drove around for a few hours and decided to stop by a local place for lunch. Very authentic Greek food, another good choice. The weather is 90 degrees so we pick one with a deck.
However as we were sitting in this glass (with sliding glass doors) patio - it starts to rain. At first everyone was very happy. It had not rained in Corfu for 4 months. They thanked the "Seattle People" for bringing them rain.
But then... the water started to flood through the bottom of the glass, fairly quickly.
We realize it's time to leave, and the rain is pouring so hard that the owner drives Roger to our car, so that he can come pick us up.
When Roger pulls up - we all step outside at the same time (didn't think that one through). I have to wait for Sharon to get in the front - there is a foot of water racing down the street, and as I wait for Sharon GALLONS of cold water are falling off the roof down the back of my shirt!
I hear Jerry behind me saying "GET IN AND SCOOT OVER", as I try to figure out how to clear the fast moving water, and he tries to push me in the car. Jerry and I were soaked!
We all get in and are a bit slap happy, laughing at this crazy weather. 
It was all funny until Roger takes off with our little car, and we realize that he is hydroplaning as the water runs down the cliff on our left, to the cliff on our right. We realize that we could be in a little danger.
Roger got us back safely - but it was more than a little exciting.
Thus not many pictures, we are lucky the camera made it.
