It has been over 35Celsius for the past few days, with today reaching almost 40!!! This is very rare for the Bay area and Foster City. We don’t have air conditioners in our homes here, so everybody was trying to figure out how to stay cool this past week. Click here to see how we kept cool over the weekend.
Basically we kept ourselves wet. We went to the PJCC swimming pool on Saturday morning. My first time in the pool with Shor and Orr. They had a blast. Both took to my training very well, and by the end of an hour long session in the water, both were doing underwater dives. Ron elegantly refused to be subjected to such abuse. After napping in our sweltering home, we took off to San Francisco, a city where Paola has yet to wear short sleeves. Finally she was able to be comfortably warm, even at 8pm in the evening. We visited Japan-town and had a bite to eat, before returning home via night views of the Golden Gate bridge.
Today was the hottest day of this Hell-week. We were invited to a noontime BBQ which proved to be very hot, even whilst sitting in the shade, and then went to other friends for an even hotter afternoon meal sitting in the sun. Luckily all had kiddy pools for Ron and the girls to enjoy.
Now it is almost midnight and finally the weather is bearable. The house has cooled down and there is enough of a breeze to feel comfortable. Veterans here say that this type of a warm spell comes once in 10 years. It’s a good thing we took alot of pictures of the kids in the various pools. This way they will have souvenirs when the real Foster City weather rturns.
