It's been a while since I've done one of these, so forgive me if you see a repeat.
Anyway, I will always like summer more than winter (although I like autumn the best). Being hot is absolutely better than being cold.
But when you're out enjoying the summer sun and heat, and the moment comes to call it -- you're sweaty and maybe a little sunburned, you're thirsty, your feet hurt, you probably have to pee. And you enter a building.
Maybe it's a snack bar or a souvenir shop. Maybe it's a bus or train taking you to the next destination. It could be your hotel, or your home. Recently, for me, it was even a casino.
But that sharp hit of air conditioning is so pleasant, and so promising. It doesn't just cut through the heat. It promises a comfy chair and a cold drink and a (hopefully) clean toilet, if not now, then very soon.
It's worth carrying around a sweater in August.
