July 28 x Heat

Today none of the family have any idea what our plans are. Beatrice (who is our own personal tour guide) was nice enough to allow us to have an excellent morning of sleeping in. We were ecstatic last night; just thinking about sleeping in and trying to get rid of jet-lag made my mouth salivate. I could actually feel my migraine start to disappear!

I feel like I should take the time to remind you that here, in Spain, it is currently 104 degrees outside.

ONE HUNDRED AND FOUR DEGREES!

Sometimes we're blessed with a breeze flowing through our room, which has no air conditioning, at night...but last night was the stillest, hottest night any of us have ever experienced. I know what you're thinking, "Chelsea, shut up. You survived the Jamaican heat..." HA! HA! HA! At least in Jamaica we had fans.

Sleeping in didn't help anything. And we have no advil, so my migraine is just something I have to try and stomach.

We have two options for today and tomorrow. We can go to a town with some sort of lace shop in it, or we can visit an amazing fortress. Beatrice is recommending we stay in the city for a few hours and then go to the lace town this afternoon, so that the heat doesn't make any of us melt. The fortress involves lots of walking, which is better done during the morning, when the heat is less intense.

Personally, I just would like to sit in a room with air conditioning.
