Some very high temperatures here since last weekend. Today was 95F and it is still 88 at 10pm. We had a warm meal at a nearby Italian restaurant Fuxia with Jay and his friend Janie. They even gave us some Chinese-style fans to try to stay cool. It was pretty warm all weekend (hence the visit to AC at the Musee du quai Branly). Sunday, I visited the Paris beach for a bit - plenty of people there in the sun. Monday, when I arrived at work around 8am, I found that the AC was not on (and appeared to have been off all weekend). The 28th floor was a sweat box (so were all the rest I expect)! Of course, you can't just open a window! The AC didn't come on until about 10am - I guess there was some problem with it and it didn't start as it should have. I don't think I've been so hot since arriving here!
Tomorrow, I have a couple days off and we are taking the train to Geneva, then a bus to Chomanix to see Monte Blanc - I'm sure it will be cooler, but we are hoping for clear skies and spectacular views! Stay tuned. Cheers!
