Wow, what a warm day. Canada is experiencing record high temps. At 5:00, it was 103.2 degrees. Unreal. The heat almost takes your breath away.
Today is Canada Day, similar to our 4th of July celebrations. Ed and Willma wanted me to experience it so we braved the heat and went downtown for four hours. We walked across the Alexander bridge which is close to a km long to check out a museum shortly after 9 and it was already so hot, I tho’t I’d croak. We stayed in the museum for over an hour where it was air conditioned and all the while, all I could think about was how hot it was going to be walking back over that bridge. But by the time we did, a breeze had come up and there was a light cloud cover. So much cooler ( and that is relative – it was not cool).
While in the museum, a small group of kids, probably ages 8 – 13, played their violins with what looked like their teacher. No music and, boy, were they good. I was impressed. Hope you can see them in this picture.
Willma was going to wear this outfit but the t-shirt would have been too hot so I had her model it when we got home so I could show how the Canadians get into their celebration.
Grass on neighboring lawns is all turning brown. It is amazing how fast it has turned in the last few days. The lawns look like fall.
I told Ed that if we ride tomorrow, we need to be on the road at sun up which is 5 am and home by 8. He just glared at me. By 9, it is getting unbearable. We’ll see.

I am going to try and keep up with your adventure. Of course you know me and yes I am still a “chatty. Cathy”, so I will try and refrain from asking a million questions.

Finally got caught up on your blog. I was quite a few days behind. I’m sorry you’re having to endure such heat and humidity. It’s been beautiful here! Yes, we’re missing our Sunday nights. 😁 The spinach is so good and there’s been so much of it that I’ve been sharing. Continue to enjoy your trip. You are amazing!
