summa dayze

Summer is finally here in Perth. Everyone else calls them 'stinking hot days' but I love the intense heat and I think that deep down everyone else does too. We've had a couple of days over 100 F and it's still only the end of springtime. But Perth is great in the summer, everyone chills out (it's too hot to stress), goes outdoors to parks and pools and just relaxes. Every weekend there are barbecue parties to go to with kiddie pools and cold drinks. And the beaches are the best places to get a break from the heat. And outdoor drinking at night to round it all off.

That and music festival season is making me wish I wasn't going to be travelling for the entire summer, but then the crisp Virginia fall/winter and Ecuadorian/Peruvian jungle saunas are pretty enticing too. I just want to have it all!
