Amber pointed out the horse outside our house early one morning. This is how cold it is inside of our house. I’m not trying to have a cold competition with my Canadian friends who are always quick to point out the -84\u00b0C weather they are experiencing. Perfectly clear. Understood. But how many of you have 3\u00b0C inside your house? My joints were stiff due to the consistent rain and cold we’ve had in town the past few weeks.<\/p>\n

Consequences of the cold:<\/p>\n

-Amber and I get up in the night and scurry in our heavy layered PJs to Blaise’s bed to ensure that he is covered up. He routinely kicks off his blankets… for kicks.<\/p>\n

-Our house has a distinct campfire smell because when it’s windy the smoke from our meager fires can not escape to the outside and stays inside. With us. Cough cough.<\/p>\n

-Amber managed to convince me that going to Copan, Honduras for the weekend was a good idea since it’s hot there. It’s her birthday on Tuesday, so I went along (or rather drove the 250 km through mountain passes, desserts and border crossings).<\/p>\n
