Back in sunny (hot, sweltering, miserably humid, melting) Kino Bay for a few days. I brought down an air conditioner for the casita. Turns out those thick walls are great for keeping the cold OUT, not so much in! It took 3 days to bring the inside temperature down to 71.
Here's a photo, with an impromptu curtain covering the bottom of the window:
Our fifth wheel is simply a large, efficient oven, and it's air conditioner cannot cope with this heat. Even running 24/7 (which it doesn't: the circuit blows every 15 minutes when it's over 95 outside) the inside doesn't get below 90.
It's great to be home, though. The desert/ocean smells SO good. I go beachcombing in the mornings before it hits 90, then spend afternoons in the AC cleaning up what my husband didn't during the last 3 months. He didn't eat any of the food I left for him, and didn't throw it out, either. When I cleaned out the fridge, I had 4 large trash bags we had to haul to town. Yes, he's very thin...
My new favorite thing is cruising around on this:
Can't you just see me on it, going to Ladies Who Lunch and loading up that basket with coyote skulls and turtle shells?
Boys! What are we gonna do with them! You're taking him back with you, right? Now you've gotta fatten him back up again.
ReplyDeleteThat sure looks like a fun way to get around! What a blast! Hang in there, it'll be cooling off before we know it!
