Rainstorms

Today is full on rain with high winds. We went back to camp in the ravine behind the town of Calahonda. Chris and Seth have the same tent from Decathalon which holds up really well in the wind and rain. Joe and I however, have a 300$ tent from REI that's 3 years old. Our tent does good in the wind but not the rain. Luckily for us, we found a huge roll of plastic in a dumpster near by. We syran wrapped our tent and bicycles and stayed dry all night. It looked like we got into a fight with syran wrap everywhere. I didn't get much sleep though. Our tent was so noisy with the sound of plastic blowing super hard in the wind all night.
I've been pretty content in my tent all day. I got high and made crafts throughout the day. Peacock earrings have been a huge success. I made 5 more pairs since I've almost sold out. Each pair is unique in it's own way. I also made a leather pouch for coins with a key ring inside. I fastened Velcro up top with a feather across the stitching and sewed on a relic symbol that I had from a necklace.
Seth has been busy watching movies and having time pass him by. He went into town with Joe to a café and got WiFi for a few hours to catch up on school work. Joe on the other hand, hates cold and wet weather. He's been miserable all day just looking for something to do. These storms one by one tends to get to you after awhile. Especially when you live outdoors like we do. Chris is like me in a way. He's been busy in his tent playing guitar all day. Coming up with new songs. It's been nice listening to him while I'm in my tent. At least I had live music all day. The weather hasn't let up at all. Tomorrow is supposed to be sunny and warm. We're all looking forward to the weather clearing up and moving on out of this place.
