Hot Hot Hot

I thought I'd try it in Spanish "Hace calor" (if that's even right), but I couldn't figure out how, in this blog template, to make the upside-down exclamation point at the beginning, so instead the title got changed to the boring English "Hot Hot Hot".

We've had record-breaking heat here in the valley. We'd had a camping trip to the mountains planned for this weekend, but given the heat, bagged it for the coast instead. Good move, the weather was perfect at the beach!

A short (arguably even at that too long) video shows a brief portion of our fun on the coast this weekend. I spent a great deal of time in the water (in a rented wetsuit - hot or not, it's still Oregon) and technically surfed (rented board) but realistically, I managed to stand up for about 2 seconds maximum. Tiring stuff.

In other news - Google street view has hit McMinnville (it looks like they did last Fall). Check out Google maps and then click on "Street View" if you live in an area that's been filmed. Crazy technology!
