We have been experiencing our first spring in Madrid. Let's just say that the weather that has been so nice through the colder parts of the year is now showing its alternate side. Its been up into the 80s over the past week and is due to hit the low 90s for a few days this week. Yes, it is May and there is no access to water for hours from here. This Chicago gal is not quite ready for the heat and is missing Lake Michigan like crazy. I broke down and turned on the AC in our bedroom last night.
On top of the heat, the warm spring has introduced us to the Madrid allergy season. I've never experienced such a long and painful pollen season. The air is very dry and it actually hurts your nose to be outside for too long. Casey is doing OK with the pollen, Ut is a wreck.
So we are suffering through our hot and sneezy spring with buckets of kleenex and fearing the real heat of July and August. This summer, when you get to the beach at home or feel a nice cool breeze in the afternoon, pray for us here in Madrid that we have not melted away!
