I really do love the sound of raindrops on the roof.  It can be so relaxing, kind of like natures mantra.  But, really?  We woke several times in the wee hours of the morning to the thundering sound of a downpour.  It would calm to a pitter-patter and we returned to sleep.  By breakfast, it had settled into a steady rain that left no doubt that we would be staying in at least for a while.  It’s noon and guess what, it is still raining steadily with frequent torrents.  The sound on the roof is starting to sound more like chinese water torture than a soothing mantra.  We slog through the deep puddles and drenching rain to a covered picnic shelter to use the park wifi.  It is a nice dry spot to surf and watch as the rain continues to fall.  Ok, back to camp for supper…no BBQ tonight.   A quiet evening (well, except the relentless pitter patter) and off to bed.  Yes, it is still raining.  The weather report says we owe today’s weather to the remnants of hurricane Isaac.  Overall, the Atlantic Maritime Provinces (that of course included us today) got between two and four inches of rain today.   All I can say is that it was a lot and I am glad to be rid of the pitter-pat at least for now.
