Do you know the way to Sacramento?

We don't. Having managed to squeeze a weekend away planned for the beginning of May into the end of June, this morning we couldn't find our train tickets. The house was turned upside down, we checked every place we'd been to the day we bought them, went through the recycling bin...nothing. Luckily Christine saved our sanity by lending us her car (thank you!)

Now here we are in a nice hotel room that has air conditioning. This is important, as temperatures here are forecast to rise above 40C tomorrow. 40C! That's hotter than it's ever got in Britain in recorded human history! I might have to put sandals on (with socks, of course).



Great Britain: not all that toasty.
