Thursday, 28th June -- Lots of sun here today. As you might know, we have micro-climates here -- it's going to be warm here today, high 69 degrees. Five miles up the road in San Rafael, it's going to be 79 degrees. You go east across the Bay Bridge from San Francisco to what I call Middle Earth, (so many highways, overpasses, you always get lost) and the temperature within 8 miles can go up to 30 degrees higher. Phew! The first time I drove out of San Francisco across the Bay Bridge (to learn more about this incredible area) went eventually through the Caldicott Tunnel -- it was 65 degrees in S.F. and 95 degrees in Walnut Creek. Phew! No thank you, too hot for my reptile blood.

All of you sound like you're having lots of fun, doing lots of stuff -- one good thing about vacations to a foreign place, or here, as well -- you WALK a whole lot, so you're getting excellent exercise. But you must stretch every single morning, do your leg lifts for abs -- and you're positively golden.
