Burn, baby, burn

I don't mean to sound ungrateful or anything, but would someone please turn the heat down???? Summer has finally hit St C's and even the natives are getting restless. We hit 41 degrees the other day and without air conditioning in the apartment it makes for a sticky situation both literally and figuratively...........it's hard to be a tourist in this weather - the girls' and I plan our outings based around which shops have airconditioning - we could ride the buses all day just to keep cool! I guess it has it's upsides though - just think, no need for hair products any more - just wipe sweat from forehead up into hair, sculpt or style hair as desired and leave. New hairstyles can be created every few minutes. Or perhaps your own personal water fall - just a quick flick of the wrist and hey, presto, miniature waterfalls. And one can't feel left out just because nearly every girl here has a tattoo - heat rash gives your skin your own personal tattoo and it can come off just as easily - just apply icecubes, wait for several minutes and you can start again. But I think the best think about the heat is the very youthful dewy look your skin has, just like you were 17 again - no need for moisturisers here! While i am exaggerating slightly, a habit I am not prone to, it is really delicious to be warm and feel all sunkissed and healthy.......... can't wait for winter though.
