Today I Wore Pants

July 23, 2015

Really. In July. Is this a dream? Can someone pinch me (preferably not in the ass, I'm not in Rome anymore). Nope, not a dream, I'm just in Berlin, where the weather is actually agreeable.  Why have I traveled to Southern Europe is July so often? What is wrong with me? Hasn't the incessant heat rash been a big enough clue that my body is not cut out for Italy in mid summer? Apparently I am built for German July. Yep, this is absolutely fantastic. I haven't even put on sunscreen! Yes, me - no sunscreen! What is this glorious heaven of no-burn at reasonable non-heat rash inducing temperatures?! It is the glory that is the homeland of my pasty ancestors, those great Northern Europeans. Ahh, Berlin...

It's amazing how much more fun exploring a city can be when you're not sweating buckets as you do it.
