Friday!

Whew. Today was a hot one and we only ended up working until 2 because of it. The day dawned oddly with this haze hanging over the valley for the longest time:

It persisted through the morning...

And even by 1 was still there a bit:

It's quite unusual, but is apparently a result of the winds carrying sands up from the Sahara, which isn't really all that far away. That's also the reason it has gotten so very hot. But other than that the work day went alright!

After work there was beach time to be had as the water was gloriously cool and clean with the lack of winds from the north. Now Brett and I will be off to dinner with our hot sauce (which is like gold!). A nice gyro, a beer, and a beach within a stone's throw is the best of ways to end the day. ^^

The evening we spent stargazing from out roof with a glass of wine and lots of random chatting!
