Here Comes the Rain Again, Falling on My Head Like a Memory

I really can't complain. Even though this is generally the wettest this nation has been in decades, this is the first day since we got to Australia that has been a total rain-out. Even then, if I had a little more gumption and a bit more cash, there are fun things to do. For example, there is no better time to be in a rainforest than when it is raining, right? Rain can't soak you if you're swimming, eh? The air is warm enough that you can be comfortable even if sopping wet.

With that said, we took the day as a rain day and huddled indoors (with the exception of lunch, a hotel waterslide run, and my 'flowers in the rain' photo shoot). We filled the time with work (Jim) or arts and crafts, books, forts, a few toys, and a splash of TV (Addi and I). We (Jim) even cooked dinner in (ramen noodles with egg and tomato, wine, and Tim Tam chocolate cookies. Mmmmm). Kind of nice change of pace after a high speed month.

No regrets, but if its raining again tomorrow we will open the purse strings for a rainforest adventure!

    I Hope there is a way you can retrieve your blog information in hard copy when you are done. It would be a treasure.
