Brrrrrr!

So a quick lesson for those of you who are geographically challenged. Currently, south of the equator, it is winter. In Lima the temperature is somewhere between 50-55 degrees Fahrenheit during the day and gets down to 40 degrees at night. Now, that's all good and dandy when you have heating in your house. In my case, without such a lovely amenity, it's kind of uncomfortable.

Now, moving from geography to anatomy class. What typically happens to the human body when it encounters a drastic change in temperature. If your response was "develops cold symptoms" you get a passing grade. Yes, folks, it's August and I am bundled up with a scarf, tissue paper, and decongestants in Lima, Peru...can't wait until next week when I am in the mountains and the evening temperature is a lovely 20 degrees.
