The umbrellas only make it worse if your in the right (or wrong)
place, because the water from the people above you just pours down
onto you!
> I'm not sure how it is these days, but it used to be that people could bring in their own food. We thought "picnic" and packed a few sandwiches and chips, but the folks around us brought shrimp, pate, expensive wines and cheese...one even had a candelabra! We felt pretty silly with our bologna sandwiches and doritos!
When we went there it was the same. We brought wine, cheese, and an
umbrella which really didn't help any. We sat in the pouring rain and
ate our diluted wine and our soggy cheese. LOL
