Hey guys!
I'm back after surviving an absolutely soul-crushing heat wave last week. I know, I know: it's strange to be complaining about the heat in GERMANY when coming from ARIZONA, but it turns out that there's something to all those, "But it's a DRY heat!" jokes that Arizonans make! Another major difference here is that thanks to the lack of
air conditioning, there's basically no escaping the heat. I wound up curtailing my workouts (I was starting to get really ill) and hiding in the basement with the dogs eating popsicles.
We were extremely grateful to welcome a storm system on Saturday night that brought sweet, sweet relief for both us and our very parched yard. However that same storm system also ruined our Sunday plans to try out a German Renaissance festival and forced us to turn around mid-way there. Even Hubby, who has driving nerves of steel, eventually decided that we should turn back!
