My first rainy day

If it makes anyone feel any better, it rained today. Not a downpour, but just enough to be annoying. So, I slept in and did some laundry. Tomorrow, I have to get up at 5AM and catch a train to Wellington, the capital of NZ. It’s a 12 hour train ride but there is suppose to be some great scenery.

I was thinking that NZ is kind of like Florida. It is October, but they are heading into Summer. Christmas decorations are out but no one seems to know what to wear. I have seen so many variation of clothing, it’s hysterical. It is only in the 50s here today but the number of people in tank tops and shorts is too funny. They do dress creatively here in NZ.

I just checked on CNN and saw the news on Wilma. Good luck to you in FL! Hope it bypasses and just heads back out to the ocean.

    Hey — Rain is pretty nice too so you can get your laundry done! I didn’t hear how you managed to fit everything–creative, I’m sure!

    We’re all waiting to hear where Wilma is going to go and trying not to worry…but hey, it’s Florida.
