I know that sometimes you see something that catches your attention. It can be hard to look away, no matter how hard you try. I had always thought that the Northern summer would be just like ours. We lived where it was winter when the Northeast US was in the summer. I expected it to be warm, but I was shocked when we got there. Our normal daytime temperature was over 100 degrees during the summer. These people were walking around, acting like it was hot, and it was only in the low eighties. I almost shivered. It wasn’t much different than a mild winter for us, and we didn’t have heaters to keep us warm. When we got there, the difference was like night and day. One afternoon it was mildly cool according to their weather report. Not only were the people looking at us oddly when we talked to them, but they were looking at our sweaters. I guess no one wore sweaters up north. At least I wasn’t asking for them to turn on the heat, but I was wishing they would turn off some of the air conditioning. That was the reason my mates and I were wearing sweaters. Every place we went, the air conditioning was set so low, that we were shivering. After being out and about for a while, we would head back to our motel. We were able to set our own temperature, thanks to the convenient thermostat in every room. We had the air conditioning off most of the time, just so we could get warm. Next time, we’ll have to wait and head up here when they have the heating turned on instead of the air conditioning.
