It was hot today. After a few hours of dinking around the house and sweating through out shirts, we all piled into the car and headed for a lake that was recommended by some locals. It was quite picturesque (unfortunately, I didn't have my camera; didn't want to have to watch it); the water was surrounded by close-knit, rolling mountain-type hills. Located on an out-of-the-way road, I'm sure the 'beach' is a popular hangout (I say 'beach' because there was no sand, only stones); though, it was pretty empty by the time we arrived at around 5. We cooled off quickly in the mountain water and, with the looming threat of a far-off thunderstorm, were soon chased back to the car. Later tonight, we're going to go out for pizza in Guebwiller (pronounced geb-v-lehr), the town where Randy and Jan now live.
