Temperature

The average temperature here (at least for the last two weeks since I've only been here that long) is about 110 degrees in the shade.   It's hot and I am always sweating, but it's not miserable like I was afraid it would be.  I keep thinking it must be going to get worse until I am properly miserable, but instead people say it will start getting cooler when the rains start.

 

On another note, the kids here are fascinated by my simple outdoor thermometer and come over every afternoon to check what temperature it is.   I suspect the adults think it's pretty neat too, but just don't want to show it.  Another piece of simple technology they just don't seem to have here.
