Supposedly tonight we are to experience a "cool front" moving through our neck of the woods. However, the last 2 days it's been pretty hot. Actually, about 38 Celsius. In Fahrenheit talk, that's pretty close to 100 degrees. So fellow friends and missionary Mary Jill & Edith suggested that we stay cool by heading to the strand in a nearby town, I cleared my afternoon calendar and was eager to do the European thing and spend the afternoon soaking. Of course on the way we had to stop and purchase some watermelon to help keep us cool. That stop added a bonus of unplanned entertainment which included the clerk working the veggie stand was sittingwith her feet in a bucket of cool water! (How cool is that? No pun intended)
After we made the purchase and some small talk, I asked that she put her feet back in the bucket and allow me to take a photo. She gladly did and as you can see the end result is that I added the photo to my blog. She seemed pleased at our interest in her and of course the watermelon purchased also helped. We then made our way to "soak"!
