Great for skin, horrible for things made of skin. I take the opportunity to remind you that those of us who live in one of those multi-million peso restored and icy air conditioned turn of the century colonial charmers are indeed part of "The Real Merida" too... it's all part of Life's Rich Pageant! Now when I do the obligatory Tirolean (mosquito) slapping dance I'll always think of you WilliamLawson. Thank you for that... It IS the humidity! Great for skin, horrible for things made of skin.

I even got mosquito bites at Sears yesterday. Everything does look lush and green, but the humidity can be a bit overwhelming...putting on makeup when you have already started to perspire right after the shower is a challenge. I now have a small fan clipped to my bathroom mirror which is aimed directly at my face. I also keep my lipstick in the fridge so it doesn't melt. (In North American houses, this would mean walking halfway across the house from the bathroom to the kitchen, but not in our case...someone in those colonial days must have had me in mind, our kitchen is right next to the bathroom.) And now I use mosquito repellant cream as my body lotion, how appealing is that. Obviously when they filmed that bicentennial video you published the other day, it was before the rains, I did not notice the lovely woman in the red dress fighting off any clouds of mosquitos!

We do fine with our basically sedentary lifestyle, although mowing the other day with my pushmower (meaning no gas or electric engine) really wore me out so that by 9am I was done in. Oh wait, where was I going, oh yes, fans, lots of fans, sit in a circle of fans, works well except on card night, tough to keep those cards on the table. We also tend to keep closet doors open this time of year, only closing them up when someone stops in to visit. I love the little snails, they let me know rain is on the way, the more you see on trees and columns the more rain you're gonna get.

I grew up with no ac when I was a young now I am too spoiled American I cannot handle it. What about get dehumidifier.It does not that expensive here. I know running ac over their cost lots for elctric bill but you cannot be miserable, also moles, fugus not good for health. So when you don't run ac , just use run dehumidifier suck all moisture out of air & just runing fan helps. Try & let me know. William, I felt bad hot & humidity.

I thought all the real mansions and whole house AC and freezing malls were out there in the north? Down here in the flooded streets and reflected heat, we're doing ok with just high ceilings and rock walls - no AC. It's tempting though, I will admit that. I think I'd love just one dry room.
