Philly Heat

We have been in Philly for a few days now... and let me tell you it started off HOT!
Not hot as in fast, or hot as in we are hot, but hot as in heat hot hot. The first two days we were here I was literally trying to plan ways to escape the heat. The house we are staying in is awesome, based on top of the Manayunk wall that we will race up 4 times in a few days time (its fair to say we will know this hill like the back of our hands come race day :) ), but although the house is super cool, the one and only thing is, it unfortunately lacks is air con. Yesterday in fact it was so hot even using my computer was a no go as it made me even hotter. All we could do was vege out in the lounge trying to get some cool air from the ceiling fan that was doing an awesome job of pushing the warm air around.
So yesterday we decided to go the movies to escape the heat for a few hours and see the Avengers. The Avengers was good...but not quite as good as the lovely 2.5 hours of air con we got! Thankfully today (and for the rest of the week fingers crossed) the temp is normal, with none of the 99% humidity stuff that has been hanging.
We are all rearing to go for race day on sunday, I can't wait!
Watch this space....
In the mean time some photos:
