All this talk of a big storm and Carlsbad had the perfect September weather going on. I decided to take advantage of the sun and hit the beach for a workout just in case the rain was going to move in. The local news must think we're about to get hit because as I left, I noticed the weather van was all set up on the beach with several cameras and storm monitors. That's not such a good sign. If the storm is that big to warrant coverage, then their van will be somewhat washed out tomorrow morning with the tide.

The sun slowly gave way to clouds then rain. This is not a city for walking in the rain. Before it was time to shelter and stay dry, I did one last walk around the area. The business district and surrounding areas are clean and little graffiti or murals. Found this flamingo? near the old city. While the leaves probably congest the waterways, they do look cool floating on the water. Ornate door entrance. Soon after this was taken, the clouds and mist lowered and the top of tower stayed obscured for the rest of my stay. I decided to pass on paying to go to the top when there was no visibility. Back in my hotel room I saw this rainbow emerge right before the rain started pelting down.
Today was perfect weather, too bad I was inside all day. I'd like to hike Saturday, but like you said, there is this big storm expected. I perdict no rain this weekend.
ReplyDeleteI took advantage of the perfect weather to bicycle home today. I too will be surprised if we get rain/thunder/tornados like they are predicing.

I don't believe it's actually coming either. Pam and I took to the beach last night too. It was beautiful.
