That sounds like a lot of rain, but I never mind warm rain, and I love seeing how green it is there!

It is about $500/month for 3+ month, includes internet and a shuttle to town six times a day. About $13.50 per foot. We are here until November, but cruising around the archipelago every couple of weeks on the weekends.

Oh my gosh, I love you two so much.

Asheville and this part of the Appalachians are in a temperate rainforest (as opposed to a tropical rainforest). We get a lot of rain. Actually, if you want to get geeky about it, and I know you do, Asheville itself gets less rain than the surrounding mountains. In the city we get about 45 inches of rain a year while the mountains just a little west of here can get about 90 inches. But since Asheville is in a bowl surrounded by these mountains, our rivers are often full.

We are currently in the afternoon thunderstorm season. It’s about 4:20pm here (it’s kind of always 4:20 in Asheville) and its thundering in the distance. Lydia is not a fan.

Let me know when you’re heading our way. Love to both of you.

Thank you, Doug! You are so kind :-). I spent some time in Boone, NC. First time it was sunny for a week, next time it was raining non-stop for a week, so definitely a rainforest, lol.

I think we may stay south for a couple of years but then back stateside. Who knows?

It is easy to handle rain when it’s warm, turns out :-)
