Hmm, now that I think about it, I believe the rain saved you from a couple of guests overstaying their welcome.

I can't tell you how many times we've been in the car on the way to meet folks I feel like I've known for years and Kevin is like "Wait... who the hell are these people???" Ingrid's blog was one of the first one I started following and she was always willing to give me advice over email about the places we were planning to visit, which was awesome. We finally got to meet them after many months of blog reading and emailing and it was great to chat "in real life." It's crazy how small this community is!!
