MYSTIC,CT SEPTEMBER 3

Tuesday
Woke up to rain on the roof--a quick look outside--pouring.
Slipped back between the sheets for a little more snoring.
Maybe it will clear up and we can see Mystic Seaport 
and see all the boats.
Not happening, by 10am, still pouring.  We already did
touring in the rain in Canada--not too much fun.
So, we waited--storming, thunder, and lightning
Then the cable tv went out(satellite connection).
No internet either.
Rained all day-bummer
