27 November 2022 Brisbane: The Monsoon Season Meets the Holiday Season

 



 We got to the Sunday Market in the park early and bought our veggies.  There was a couple at a booth there selling boulder opals that they mine themselves in Queensland.  We had a nice conversation but did not purchase anything.  After unloading all the goodies we heard the rain.  The rain was accompanied by high winds and the windows rattled.  It was a torrential downpour.  We took this time to watch last week's CBS Sunday Morning Show.  It was the Sunday routine of old.  We were happy that the trip to the Gold Coast was canceled by the tour operator.   It would have been a soggy trip.  We went as far as researching the train schedules and were prepared to head to Gold Coast on our own.  We were ready to go but there were track shutdowns planned for Sunday, so we put it off for a week.  Instead we stayed in the apartment and had some rainy day couples time.
