There was a very nasty heat wave that struck the country this summer. I don’t exactly know if it was a direct result of  global warming but it sure felt like it. Especially because our room faces the afternoon sun, andrea, mateo and I could feel how warm it was during the day because our walls would continue to give off heat long after the sun has already set. In fact, there was even a point when I felt so irritated with the heat that I got up in the middle of the night, sweaty and all, and I wanted to go to the nearest furniture and hardware store to shop for exterior shutters to cover the walls outside - anything to shield the walls from all the heat!

Good thing the summer heat wave ended already. Now that rain has already started to fall almost every afternoon, I look forward to going home and sleeping in our now cooler bedroom.
