Settled in Cocoa Beach

Photos.

Mild when we left St. Augustine on Tuesday. Traffic increased as we approached Daytona Beach, where the Daytona 500 will be run on Sunday. I felt as though we were driving underwater. We could barely make out the shadow of a pickup truck in front of us.

We saw a rest stop and pulled off until the rain let up a little, but it started up again almost as soon as we got on the road. We turned off at the exit to Hwy 528 into Port Canaveral and "continued on" -- the GPS phrase for "kept on going" into Cocoa Beach.

It was pouring so hard that we didn't even notice that we were almost at the condo. It is located a little south of the Hilton and Lori Wilson Park. We unloaded in the pelting rain and, after drying off and putting away our clothes, I messed with the TV in the living room. I ended up calling the cable company and figured out that previous tenants had really screwed up  all the TVs in the apartment. I used the remote for the master bedroom in the living room and that was OK.

TV is not really my thing but I love a challenge. Turns out there have been many calls to the owner about TV problems and, in fact, a service call is scheduled for today. Too many remotes! One each for TV, Cable, DVD player, for each of 3 TVs.

After a trip in the rain for groceries, we got soaked again and returned home for supper.The rain lasted throughout the evening. We lost power (and the Internet) for an instant last night. This morning, I found the wireless router and recycled it.

Fine today. Rain is predicted for later on but I think we can look forward to sunshine late this afternoon and tomorrow.
