Oh So Cold!

So last night, the night of the 29th here, it was so cold here. After about 5 pm, a cold front must have passed through or something, because I was freezing cold. I put on my hoodie, along with shoes instead of my usual flip flops so that I did not get frostbite. Before I settled down to sleep, I decided I would investigate just how cold it was with the thermometer which is built into my travel alarm clock. I took it out of my room, which is notoriously warmer than outside since I'm surrounded by concrete, and left it out for a little bit while I was getting ready for bed. By the time I was finished, the mercury (or really, the little digital sensor) had dropped to 60.5 ˚F !! Now I know all you folks back in Chicago are probably going, "Geez, I wish it were that warm here!" But let me tell you, when it is in the mid to upper 80's here during the day, and at night it is more than 20 degrees cooler, that is a big temperature difference. Anyways, that has been the talk of the town today. People were saying that they felt like they were in Nueva Yol (that's how they say New York in Spanish, and basically anywhere in the states is considered New York.) Haha...if they only knew the temperature in New York right now. But anyways I play it up a lot and I will go on and on about how cold it was and how I thought it was going to snow and everything. They get a big kick out of it.

Well, for now, I'm glad that my room is about 12 degrees warmer than outside...the temperature was 72˚F last night in my room. Hopefully it does not continue to be that much warmer in my room during the summer, otherwise I'll be in for a real treat. They'll probably be having roasted Kevin for some holiday dinner.

It's now Sunday and I'm posting this finally....and yes it still gets down to 60 at night. And it still feels cold everytime. And have fun shoveling all the snow in Chicago!
