Where I've been on this rock

Here is a map of where I've been. Quite interesting - I think I have the northern hemisphere pretty much licked. My secret... visit the largest countries first. I have the biggest four done. (ok, China was just the Hong Kong airport...) All that, and I've never crossed the equator. Anyone want to send me to Brazil?

Scorching Summer

Almost the entire continental United States is above 30°C (86°F)! Talk about a hot day. The small Western Washington town of Forks will reach 18°C (65°F). This is the lowest temperature in all the lower 49 states!

Fortunately I work and live in air conditioned buildings. During the bitterly cold Moscow winter I was dreaming of the scorching hot summer here in Walla Walla. Ahhhh... Enjoying the warmth I am indeed, but safely from inside my room.
