HOT
There is one thing I know about the day when I get up - it will be hot. Not just warm, not 80’s hot, not low 90 something hot, but upper 90’s HOT!
Oh, did I mention, it’s hot and humid? I mean the sticky, clammy, muggy, sweat a river, kind of humidly. And HOT.
Ok, now that I’ve mentioned the weather, on with our activities. Morning lectures, this week, have been on the Chinese economy. In the afternoons (when it is the HOTTEST) we have ventured out to see the sites. We have been to the silk museum, the tea museum, the Six-Harmony Pagoda, and walks along West Lake. We have ventured out to shop and eat at local venues that range for the old historic district to the silk market (again). Just when you think, “I can’t take the heat one more minute”, you catch a breeze, find a stand that has cool drinks (ice is not the norm here), or step into a shop that has air-conditioning. When I get back, I going to have a BIG glass of iced tea! Oh, did I mention it was hot and humid? - Kathy
