Hotter than hell takes on new meaning...

The weather in Louisiana is incredible, and I mean incredible in a terrible way. The humidity is around 85--95% everyday and the sun is relentless. I've never sweat so much in my life. I can't believe that anybody lives down here - especially if you didn't have A/C. The first night here our A/C was broken and the temperature reading was off the charts on the thermostat - so greater than 85 F. When I woke up in the morning, I was covered in sweat and thought that a nice cold shower would at least give me a few moments of comfort. To my surprise, the water doesn't get cold in the shower - I would say it is about 80 degrees F which is utterly ridiculous. But our A/C got fixed now so I think I'll make it. It is just incredible though how fast you start to sweat outside and how humid the air is - almost feels like you can't breathe sometimes.
