Now in our 18th
month of living full time in this RV, our Vilia, we have a rain day. We have
had a few along the way but we have often commented on our good fortune with good
weather for such a large part of our travels. We are in Sarasota for near a
month. It rains very large raindrops in Florida. Because of the relative rarity
of inclement weather over our last year and a half, it is nice to have the
rain. It patters warmly on our RV roof. As I write this, the front is
intensifying and wind is rippling the awning toppers that extend with our RV
slideouts. If you have been in a tent in the wind, that’s the sound. We are in
this amazingly large park called Sun-N-Fun. Name did not work today. There are
hundreds and hundreds of RV’s.
Our full time RV
experience is unique to many of our family and friends. Periodically we hear, “Oh
yea, my neighbor’s aunt and uncle went full time for awhile”. But not too much.
When you do it, there is no uniqueness, you are part of the crowd. And a good
part of the crowd gathers here at Sun-N-Fun. There is a large pool complex with
a three story water slide. There is petanque, the French version of bocce.
There is “proper” lawn bowls done on a manicured lawn court. They have a woodworking
shop, jewelry making, pickleball, and on and on. We are part of the active
lifestyle community. Holy Sun City Batman, we are here!
But, it is on hold
for today, our welcome rain day and the chance to do things like blog entries.
