Another dreary, drizzly day so we decided to take a day and veg out. I walked up to check out the Laundromat this morning and decided to do a couple of loads, so got that done. The internet isn’t working here and the owner was messing around with it when I was at the Laundromat but there is still no internet tonight so guess he didn’t get it working – annoying both for him and his clients!

About mid afternoon we decided to go out for a bit and guess what – as soon as we drove out of the park it started to rain! We drove to the lighthouse but didn’t bother walking up in the rain, hopefully we will have a nice day when we can check it out. We saw a café with a wi-fi sign so thought we would get a coffee and use the computer but the wi-fi was up in the gallery so we didn’t bother, I bought a postcard and that was it. We then stopped and got stamps at the post office and on the way back found a motel that advertised wi-fi and lo and behold, I got connected. I managed to get my blog updated and check my e-mail so that will do for a couple of days.

The people beside us are from Maggie Valley, N.C., which is a very pretty place near Asheville, – we were there in the fall of 2005. They are traveling with another couple and dinner was next door tonight, outside, and when the one couple sat down on the picnic table the seat broke off at one end and they went crashing down. Fortunately they weren’t hurt and managed to laugh about it, they sure made a loud crash when they went down, but they put a bucket under the bench to prop it back up and carried on! We are hoping for sunny weather tomorrow so we can do the boat tour.
