Monday, February 25
For a town, region, and country that is tropical and the weather is warm to hot every day, it may seem strange for me to mention that we are having a heat wave. But we are. Since we have been here, from the end of January to now, the typical high for the day has been in the high 80's or low 90's. But this week, the highs are ranging from 95-99, with a possible 100 degrees Fahrenheit in our near future! This, in my mind, is a HEAT WAVE.
Our friends, Janet and Richard, left early this morning (4:45 am) to fly back to Massachusetts where the temperatures are in the 30-40-degree range and there will be snow on the ground if not in the air. Today, here, this almost sounds appealing. Almost!
Right now (almost 8 pm) we are having dinner in an outdoor restaurant. There are overhead fans blowing, but there is no A/C. The temperature is still in the low 90's, while back home in Massachusetts, the reported temperature is 32 F. Though neither extreme is pleasant, given the choice, I would prefer being a little too hot to being too cold. So be it!
P.S. there was an unusual amount of cloud cover this evening. This created the most beautiful sunset we have had since we arrived!
