While we were traveling this summer, we turned off all fans and swamp coolers in our house, so it was just a huge cinder block structure soaking up heat.
Let's not talk about the cucumbers I accidentally left in our fridge 😬 (thankfully, no pictures were taken of that), but I did photograph this sweet potato that was left in our hot box known as a house. Remember the pictures of candles I sent you from last summer.
It's quite a shame, too, because sweet potatoes can rarely be found here. In fact, since we came back, I haven't been able to find any.

It was so hot in August that this Mercedes Benz business put umbrellas over all of their small bushes. I have NEVER seen anything like this.
Doug and I went on a double date with our teammates, and they took us to the 21st floor of a fancy hotel in town, because they had been to the lookout platform before, and they wanted to share it with us.
It was stinkin' hot, which you can't tell from the picture, but there was a hot breeze blowing. And I remembered something about perspective...a different perspective is often helpful.
The city looked so beautiful and clean from up here.
Unfortunately, I know what it looks like at ground-level.
Only our guide had a camera, so I have no pictures from the day. However, our guide (the groom in this post) sent us these two of Caleb.
It was Keira's and my first time to go, and we loved it.
Everyone did a lot of swimming.
Doug, Caleb, and Keira let little fish eat on their feet while they laughed.
Doug, the older kids, and even our guest, jumped off some small cliffs.
We stayed all day, and ate lunch in the cleft of some rocks.
The wind picked up a lot by the end of the day, and it was really windy when we started back. Instead of the 45 minutes it took to paddle to the site, it took an hour and a half to paddle back!
It was a good, cool end to the summer.
