Yesterday, I walked to school in a T-shirt in jeans. The temperature was 10*, about 50* F. When I left the house, Beatriz was practically begging me to put on a jacket, because it was so cold outside. Hace frio, she kept saying. Everyone was commuting to work wearing hats and gloves and giant sweaters. I laughed to myself, thinking that if 50 degrees is freezing cold to them, what is the summer like around here?! In the afternoons, it gets up to about 80 degrees every day, and it's too hot to sit in the sun. Chilly, I know.
As for Beatriz, she continues to ask me if I'm cold, even when it's 65 outside, and even when I'm wearing a sweater. I wish our winters were more like this :)
