This weekend is going be very hot and very humid in Tel Aviv (92 F and 80% RH) and extremely hot inside the country (117 F in the Jordan Valley). I have arranged for them a hotel in Tel Aviv, near the Mediterranean Sea so the boys will enjoy the cool air in the hotel or run 100 yard and enjoy the sea. The weather is going to cool down on Monday so they can go out the hotel and do some paper work. I shall take care that they drink enough water.
