When we first arrived to Murcia at the end of January, it was a little cold but nowhere near how cold it was in Canada. The Spanish people were bundled up and I Kate and I have not worn a winter coat since Cranbrook. Around the end of February - mid March it started getting even warmer. The last couple weeks have been HOT. It has hit 40 degrees celsius and has been in the 30s for a really long time now. For some reason, the Spanish people are still bundled up from head to toe and the "crazy" Canadians have been in flip flops since February. If they are still bundled up in the scorching heat it makes me wonder how hot it is actually going to get! This week we spent a day at the beach and in onlu 4 hours (three Canadians) were burnt to a crisp and bright red. These burns have not dissapeared and it has been days now! Apparently the O-Zone layer is weak in some parts of Europe and I definitly believe it.
I wonder if the Spanish people ae used to these extrene heat conditions and to them it is still a little cool? And because Canada is so cold our bodies react differently to heat. I'm no exactly sure what it is but it blows my mind that peole are flabergasted to see flip flops and tank tops, and ask if we are cold. It is interesting to see how people adapt to weather differently all around the world.
