My sister is on the north shore right now. She says the scenery is beautiful, but there is a heat wave right now, and the heat and humidity are hard to take. 90 degrees and high humidity = sweating constantly. Frequent changes of clothing, need to take a shower before breakfast, before dinner, and again before going to bed. And this is a girl in superb physical condition. She says all you can do is try to ignore the heat, and enjoy yourself regardless.
