It's really hot and humid today, but at least there is not going to be any heavy rain, it's supposed to be getting hotter over the weekend with tomorrow going to be the hottest day so far.
I didn't feel too good today so there aren't many photos, we only had one place planned to go and that was the Franklin Institute which is a science and industry museum.
The best place to be is inside on days like this, it's not so much the heat, it's the humidity that zaps the energy out you.
Once we got out of the hotel it was really hot, but didn't have to wait too long for a bus which dropped just across the road. It's not cheap to go in here so I was hoping it was going to be good, but I wish we hadn't bothered now. Considering some of the other ones we have been in there wasn't much to look at and the displays were fairly small, I think the best part was the planetarium at the end where we got to sit in the dark for 30 minutes most of which we spent asleep.
When we came out about 3 o'clock it was too hot to go walking about with a real feel temperature of 41 centigrade, so decided the best thing to do was to get a bus back to the hotel, get a sandwich from a nearby shop and chill out for the rest of the day.
If you spend too much time out in this heat your probably going to end up with heat stroke or something like that.
About 8:30 we decided to go out and get something to eat, as its Friday night most restaurants are packed, but they normally do takeaway as well, so ended with spaghetti and meatballs, $20 it's not cheap but there was more than enough for both of us and it was really nice. Even though this place was a couple of blocks away it's not going to go cold in this heat, at 9 o'clock in the evening, it's 32c with a real feel of 38c and 71% humidity.
