Water, Gimme Water!
"Water!" Screamed my brain the entire trip... "Gimme water!" my throat demanded! It was inevitable, one of those things you can't control. After all it was 48°C and the weather man was saying in the radio that all the humidity was making the heat way more bigger, so instead of 48°C we were experiencing 97°C. "Even tho the thermometer says 48°C with all the humidity, the sensation gets higher and its 97°C the real temp".... kept saying the meteorologist, followed by "stay hydrated" and all my brain was saying was "Water, gimme water!"
My dad wanted to go to the bay and feel the breeze of the Atlantic ocean, after all the wind of the nort is always "cold" and refreshing. The sun was boiling the entire place, vapor vas coming out of the streets like a mirage and I felt dizzy. Living my entire life at the Caribbean has trained me to endure all type of harsh weather but this year the heat is literally unbearable. Spending one day at 48°C (feels like 97°C) its ok, no problem. Spending 2 months of 48°C (feels like damned 97°C) is torture!
We reached the bay, the place was full of elderly people... al of them seeking that "cold" breeze of the north but it seems the north was too busy trying to survive the heat wave cause the air was hot. "Water, gimme water"... over and over again bounced in my head. Hot air, hot sun, hot road, hot me... there were no one selling water in there, all the stores were closed. I bet their owners were too tired of the heat and went home. Seriously, who the hell can work when its 97°C outside? Who the hell can live with 97°C? Period! I was feeling like the road, vapor was coming out of my body, was dizzy, nauseated and in a type of trance watching the water moving with the wind.
We hop in the car and turned the ac on. If you want cold air you have to stick to the air conditioner cause north air is not cold anymore! "Ice cream, I want ice cream" I told to my sister while she was driving. Five minutes later we were indulging ourselves with nutella ice cream and ready to keep moving on outside with the hellish heat. "Water, gimme water!".... started the brain again...

Thanks! :)
I can't even imagine it being that hot. Feels like 97 degrees?! Doesn't water boil at 100? So in Fahrenheit that would be 200 degrees.
I'd rather be where it is super cold. At least then you can put on more layers.
Nice cooling photo to go with the make-us-thirsty story.
It feels like 207F to be exact... and yes, that's how I feel, like boiling! Is very sickening! Even water came hot from the faucet! I need December to come quick to have my 2 months of 72F - 90F again! :)
How are you?
So you can't even take a cool shower? ugh. unbearable.
I'm good - I've finally started to figure this place out. Thanks again for your part in that!
Once you find your tribe here is easier 😀

Oh, baby! One of the reasons Puerto Rico was off my list this summer!!! It has been brutal!!!
This alone makes me say never to Florida also. I love the heat but cannot take the brutal heat. I melt. I swear it! I hope it gets better for you soon. I think I have a trip for work down close to there in the fall.
Please make it cool for me! You know I can whine... Unless there is a cookie involved...
Love to you! Keep cool!!

Honey... I have bad news for you, fall is hot here! The only time is not that hot is December - February. The rest of the year is hellish. So you need to stick to your bottle of cold water like if your like depends on it! heheheh xoxo
You know what? I usually came in January when the kids were out of school or February which is why I love it...
But, I have been there in November and March and thinking it was hot, but, I had left snow at home, so it was all good! :)
Right now snow would be so good! 😌
