The wind direction has changed to the southwest. It is bringing more humidity and a return to the normal daily showers. The temperature rapidly climbed into the nineties this morning. The relief came quickly around 11AM in the form of thunder storms. A new storm arrived about every hour until 4PM. They were brief showers of about ten minutes in duration that kept the afternoon temperature in the upper eighties.

After staying inside during the late morning and early afternoon rains, I set out for Disney’s EPCOT for some late afternoon and evening exercise and entertainment. The park wasn’t too busy when I arrived shortly before six, but it increased rapidly while I was there. The Magic Kingdom had the Halloween party this evening. All of the people that didn’t have the special event ticket came to EPCOT instead.

I rode a few rides, but mostly I walked around the park taking in the scenery, quirky people and entertainment. It wasn’t the best conditions for a lot of walking. The temperature was down in the eighties, but the humidity was still high. I didn’t let too many water fountains pass by without a stop. Half way around the World Showcase area I decided to sit down and take a break. That was a mistake. The bench was still wet from the afternoon rains. I had to finish my walk with a wet posterior. Time to go home.
