It turned out that the forecast for today was correct; it rained almost all day, with maybe a 90-minute break in the early afternoon.
We used up a significant portion of our food supplies to make a large brunch this morning, while listening to the soothing sounds of pouring rain on the roof. The veranda is covered only by a pergola, so we were mostly confined inside all day.
We relaxed and lounged around, planning and making reservations for future meals and activities. During the rain respite, a few of us took a quick trip to the Wine Cellar for some liquid supplies. (I like the FAQ page that just says "<No FAQs yet>".)
Eventually, we emerged again, in the rain, to return to IGA for solid supplies, and also pick up some take-out from Somewhere Cafe and Lounge, which is sort of a tex-mex restaurant.
It rained maybe 1" today, which doesn't seem like a lot... except there doesn't appear to be any stormwater management here, so all of the streets had standing water and some were absolutely flooded. Luckily, our rental car has adequate ground clearance, and we only did a three-mile loop, but traffic was relatively heavy and there are some very creative drivers here.
Tomorrow, the weather should be much nicer, and hopefully everything will have had time to dry overnight.
