Heat Wave

Brandi at the Beach

We are experiencing a bit of a heat wave at the moment, and it’s HOT.  Daily temperatures are reaching 35°C during the day and it’s only cooling off to 20°C at night.  It is easily 40°C in the sun.  Before this hot weather started, Brandi took me to the “beach” along the Arno for a bit of sun bathing, but now all you want to do is stay in the shade during the height of the day.  NOW I understand why almost everything closes between 13:00 and 16:00hrs – it’s too hot to do anything!


Making shade In Piazza della Signoria

And for those restaurants with patios, making shade is the only way to keep customers in the late afternoon.  My apartment is starting to heat up, and the fans are coming out tonight.  No let up for at least the next 5 days…..I think I’ll try and find a pool.
