It is really hot outside and temperatures in this area of the country may continue to rise. Evening approaches and it still feels like 103 degrees. Weather like this can make you feel so lethargic. Around town, tourists look desparate to visit as many sights and monuments as they can before the sweltering heat practically forces them indoors.

I keep reminding myself that it will be like this soon enough, so it’s important to enjoy the summer. Time to be thankful for air conditioning, chilled drinks, ice cream and days when I don’t have to ride the sweaty metro train. Time to take refuge from extreme weather with Netflix and a bottle of wine (also fun during snowstorms). Time to seek out beautiful beaches and refreshing pools. May we all feel as cool as a Barcelona rooftop pool for the rest of the summer.
