Zup'in Canada - Part 9

Weather

            The weather was a little hot. The way the tents were set up and the island was situated did not allow for the breeze to flow through. The days were hot under the sun, and the nights were hot inside the tent. A couple of nights, it was cool. However, the main perception was that it was hot – but not as hot as Florida.

            One night a thunderstorm blew through. There was a ton of lightning and thunder rumbling through the wilderness. The animals were quiet, and the rain was coming into the window of the tent on my side. I reluctantly closed it, because that meant less cool air from the outside rain. This was the one night I didn’t need the white noise of my Uncle Keith’s sleep-aid-breathing machine that keeps him from snoring. And, believe me, it works. The one night he didn’t have it - because his machine’s battery uncharged - Keith snored like the thunder of the storm.
