Heat Wave

All summer long here in Austria there have been a few nice days but mostly it has been cooler and rainy. This plast week there has a been total change in weather. I think we must have brought the warm weather over with us when we came.
I guess all across Europe there is a big heat wave. Noramlly this wouldn't be a big deal but there doesn't seem too many air conditioners here and a couple of the guys live on upper floors of apartment buildings. Needless to say it is quite hot and the gym doesn't offer much relief, if any at all from the heat. But, I guess it could be worse, like 100+ days we had back home in July, and what doesn't hurt you only makes you stronger. Hopefully though in the next couple days it will cool down a little and we can get a little break from the heat.
Yesterday I dropped Katy off by the river close to the pool, and it was completely packed. There were cars all over the parking lot.
After sitting by the river for a little while Katy ended up going to the pool in the and said there were tons of people - she said it was a little confusing as it was in the early afternoon and it seemed like these people should be at work. But, when you have 5 weeks off for vacation (typical amount someone has for their job here in Austria) why not take a day off when its hot to go to the pool.
