Escape from the Heat

Today is the fourth day in a row that temperatures have approached 100 degrees. The streets are almost empty of pedestrians, as people try to stay inside and enjoy the A/C. We have our two wall units running full blast, 24 hours a day. We’ve had to move River into our bedroom because it is too hot without air conditioning.

Tomorrow River and I leave for Costa Rica, then Panama. Where we will be in Panama, it’s now winter. The forecast is for sunny mornings, scattered showers in the afternoons and cool evenings. Funny that we’re heading south to cool off.
