Supposedly it’s humid here . . . though I don’t really feel it. Around 80% is the norm. I like to stick my head under the tap, too. I just did that about 10 min. ago though and it’s already dry!

Hardest part of living in the middle east, is that the heat is dry. I like humid heat! Drink lots, sweat clean. My skin is so healthy in humidity My favorite cool down is to soak my hair. I don’t like the weight of a wet cloth on me, but the hair is already there, so I use it.

Fortunately, my in-laws don’t come to my house (apart from my brother-in-law who could care less) . . . but if they knew, I’m sure they would be quite worried! Either that or glad that I’d be out of the picture soon. ha.

Isn´t your Guatemalan family in law having a fit seeing you sleep on a wet towel, putting your feet in ice cold water and soaking your shirt? They are probably worried that you´ll catch your death of a cold like that!! My son got bronchitis and I have a cold because of these extreme differences in temperature, I think. Sweaty all day, freezing at night. Febrero loco y Marzo otro poco!
