So this is SUM-mer...

Brrr! That's all I have to say on the topic of summertime in Germany! Whoo! I thought that adjusting to life without air conditioning in my apartment or car might be difficult, but thanks to an unseasonably cool June, it's been easier than I thought! But conveniently enough, they've shut off the radiators in my building which means that I'm wandering from room to room wearing a sweatsuit...and the blankets from my bed, unfortunately! (It's an attractive picture, I know!) Plenty of my colleagues from work have been traveling to warmer spots for the recent holidays...the popular places this month have been the Canary Islands and Mallorca, of which the latter is apparently so popular with German tourists that the bars all serve German beers and the language is spoken. Not exactly the best place if you're looking to get away from German culture, I guess, but it's still a good getaway from what I hear...might have to look into that!
