HOT

I know most of you have already seen hot weather, but yesterday and today were our first days of 80s.  Today it was 31 degrees C (at least) and I read in the paper that last year it didn't get this hot until June 21.  As far as I can tell, no one has air-conditioning, so we have to be careful and keep all the shades down and windows closed during the hottest part of the day.  The sun just set at 9:08 pm and I'm opening up the windows now for some fresh air.  It seems to cool off well most nights, so that helps!  When we took the tram to and from dance class this afternoon we had one new tram (A/C and very comfortable) and one old tram (no A/C).  They open up the windows on the old trams, but it still gets pretty steamy!  Hanna got to spend the day on a trip with her class to the river.  She came home sweaty and with a beat-red face.  Tomorrow is her birthday so she is very excited.
