Sun on Sunday

Sunday July 7th 2024

I knew it was Sunday today and it was a sun day as well. There were very few clouds in the sky today. The sun beat down all day and raised the temperature into the upper nineties. The humidity was extreme, but the feels like temperature was still around 105 degrees. The rain didn’t come to drop the afternoon heat.

A ‘parachute’ cloud in the late afternoon sky.

With the sun baking in on the roof and sides of my RV home, one roof air conditioner can only keep the inside down to the upper eighties during the peak of the day’s heat. Running the second AC unit brings the temperature down to the low eighties. To really feel cool, I get in the car and go for a drive with the dash vents blasting cold air at me. That was this afternoon’s activity.

As the sun got lower in the sky, walking outside was more comfortable. My walk around the RV resort was longer than yesterday’s abbreviated trek, but still not all the way to Lake Davenport and back. The park didn’t empty out much today. I thought there would be more turnover as the holiday week concluded, but only a few rigs departed and several new ones arrived. The TV news has indicated that this holiday week hasn’t been as busy in the Orlando area as past years. They have expressed all kinds of opinions on the reason from the weather to the economy. My guess it’s a lot of things, but mostly just the natural fluctuation of travel desires. There are lots of places to travel, so you need to go to different places every now and then.

I have also read about the high cost of visiting the park. So, perhaps those two items had an effect on how many have visited Orlando.
    Honestly, I don’t know if we’ll ever go to Disney. I’ve already been twice; my husband has never been. It’s so expensive, and he doesn’t like lines. There are so many places to visit…. I think you have a good thing going the way you do Disney.
