Life in the 80's
We had a lot of storms come through this past week, leaving glorious temperatures in the 80’s, dipping into the 70’s at night. I can’t tell you how welcome that was, after sleeping on a hot mattress with hot air being fanned onto you for weeks now. We have all taken advantage of it, me getting all the housework done I can, and the girls playing outside. I’ve also managed some hammock time, thrilled that I can catch a cool breeze out there. 
I took these pictures to show you how the locals react when it gets below 90*. I have to admit that I was chilly, too. I kept telling myself that I should be hot at 85*, but I had to give in and put on a hoodie. Because the children’s camp was using the church building, we had our Sunday morning service under the mango tree. I was wrapped in a blanket, as was the grateful lady sitting beside me. Maybe we’re acclimating after all.
Isn't it amazing how HOT it feels? Glad you got the treat of some "cooler" weather! :)
ReplyDeleteYou should see the winter jackets people put on here in the Chaco, when it get´s below 80! I usually am defiant and don´t put a jacket on because I want to feel cold for a change! :)
ReplyDeleteBut yeah, we are having the same weather and it´s great for a little while, then we start to look for the hot north winds, that bring us rain!
This is so hilarious and true! We were all in hooded sweatshirts and we used 2 blankets at night. I'm a Michigan girl, but my blood has apparently acclimatized to tropical heat!
ReplyDeleteSo great you're getting some relief from the heat!
ReplyDeleteIt was wonderfully cool, wasn't it???
