The Heat is On

    This morning was beautiful and clear and very hot!!  The temperature hit 41.5 C (106 F) today, a record by over 5 degrees for this day, previously set in 1913.  Whew!  Sydney is normally very temperate and summer highs are in the mid-80's F.   After exploring Paddy's Market, a huge unairconditioned marketplace featuring 100's of stalls of souvenirs, produce, electronics, etc., we headed for the beach.
     The kids took another surfing lesson, this time without any blue bottles or beach closures.  They are both enjoying it immensely and we enjoy that it wears them out! 

 The Blue Mountains are barely visible on the horizon in this photo.

And Rich complains it gets hot in Atlanta :)
Glad you can enjoy the beach though. It looks like those surfing lessons are starting to pay off!
