It’s Hot in Cuernavaca April 9
Well, here we are, well into April and it seems like it’s been 90 in my house for months, though it’s only been weeks. We beat the heat at night by placing a fan near an open window and directing the cooler air inside. I often find myself tossing and turning and have to get out of bed and lay on the cool tile floor with a pillow under my head and a light blanket over the top of me. The tiles feel so good because they pull the heat right out of me, especially my feet. Then I soon drift off to sleep. Later, in the wee hours of the morning I wake up with some body part tingling and sore from laying on the hard tiles and drag my stiffened self, my pillow, and my blanket into bed. Last night I just skipped the lying awake step and laid down on the floor in the first place and drifted right off to sleep. Now doesn’t THAT make you want to retire in Mexico? Just kidding. Unlike me, you will be able to afford a house with a cement roof, that can be painted white. You also might be able to plant some trees to grow up and shade your house to keep it cool. I’m just here to tell you that you’ll want to plan how to keep cool during March, April, May, and June.
