Summer thunderstorms remain as romantic now as they did when I was 18 and dancing in the rain barefoot. This city isn't really built for walking around barefoot, actually, is any city? But I did deliberately walk outside in the middle of the heavy downpour to pick up a tart and sweet lemon cake.

As someone who has lived both in cities and in the country, cities are actually easier places to go barefoot, at least at the times of day when the pavement isn't hot enough to cook eggs. In the country there is A LOT of gravel, broken glass and various stickers randomly strewn about. In cities it's pretty easy to avoid the occasional rock or piece of glass.
I love this post.
I agree with Heather precisely because my mom and her sisters always talked about bathing/dancing in the rain when they were little. And because it's a lovely thought to use while recounting your trip out for lemon cake.
Romantic notion of dancing in the rain and picking up a lemon cake!
I was in NYC last week and had to stake out in a vegan pizza parlour on UWS waiting for the downpour to subside. It was a nice moment. Reminded me of the sex and the city episode when Carrie is stuck waiting for the rain to stop and she turns to talk to a stranger who snubs her.
The lemon cake looks awesome!
