Rain

It rained all night last night.  No wind.  Just a steady rain that was hard enough to hear on the roof of the Carbus.  Nice and relaxing.

This morning we met my cousin Tim and his wife Wendy for breakfast at IHOP.  We had a nice visit before they had to head to work. 

Back to the RV resort to pack up and head to San Diego.

It is a little over 100 miles from El Centro to San Diego.  Last year we traveled nearly 20,000 miles in the Carbus.  We saw more rain today than all of our travels last year.  Not a cloud burst but a steady heavy rain with some wind in spots.  When we got to San Diego the place was a mess.  Tree limbs and palm branches everywhere.  Some trees blown down. The rain had stopped but there were lots of puddles and some standing water in streets.  It was also quite windy.   The TV news was full of reports of flooded streets and storm damage.  Other than the rain it hadn’t seemed that bad to us driving in. 

Shortly after we parked the RV the weather cleared.  Still windy but sunny.  We drove to Cabrillo National Monument to get some more education and some great views of Coronado and San Diego.

Drove down to the shore to watch the waves.  Weather people said they were ten to fifteen feet high.  At least!
