Rain delay

We went back to the house to paint the side lanai, but after finishing about one-quarter of the job, it started raining very hard.  The lanai is covered by the roof, but the water dripping from the eave and the splashing made it impossible to continue and washed away some of the paint. We waited a while to see if the rain would stop, but everything was soaking wet, so we gave up and went home.

It's been raining a lot since we got here.  It rains every day at least once during the night and again early in the morning -- usually downpours.  The temperatures have been very pleasant during the day (high 70s to low 80s), but the humidity is very high.

In the afternoon, it cleared up a bit, and we drove to the end of the subdivision towards the ocean to see the view and some houses.

That night we went Island naturals, a local Whole Foods-type store that sells a lot of organic foods and bought a few things.  The prices are also Whole Foods-like.

For dinner, we wentto Ken's House of Pancakes, a diner that's very popular with the locals.  Good, basic food with a lot of local influence.It's also one of the very few (perhaps only) place that's open 24 hours and on Sunday nights.
