Hot enough!

It was the hottest weekend of the year, although the German record was not broken. However, from my vantage point at my table outside Café Schwabing, I did notice that the 27 and 28 trams were not passing, but were replaced by buses. It turns out that a few blocks closer to downtown the high temperature had caused the asphalt between the rails had bubbled up to form a big bubble, sufficient to stop the tram service.

Jessi and her girlfriend had the good sense to head for one of the nearby lakes.

Last year the two of them perfected a strategy for dealing with the heat in Barcelona, notably partying happily around the roof-top swimming pool of the Grand Hotel.Central.
