Cruel Climates

One day I'm baking in 110 degree weather in Marrakesh:

You will notice that I am wearing a long skirt and long sleeve loose shirt- both because I am trying to be respectful of Muslim culture here and to protect my skin against the sun. The hat I also bought here to protect my scalp from burning!

Also notice the hazy air in that picture of me standing amongst the Badii Palace ruins... Hazy air = heat!

 So naturally, we tried our very best to cool off...

Now back to the cruelty of the climate- we were hoping for nice weather in the 70s as we moved on to our next destination. But today we're in Amsterdam where it's 50 degrees!

Quite the change! I'm glad I packed for a range of weather! Though it's beautiful here, too, I really can't wait for nice, warm 70, 75....
