Who DOESN'T Want Tropical Heat and Humidity?

Really, that's the question...here are several excellent reasons for embracing it. I should add that we are going into the 'cool' season now, where highs are only in the 80s or so. Still, plenty of wet heat for me!

Heat and humidity are my friends because:

• Steaming tortillas is a thing of the past. Take one out of the freezer, set it on the counter, and within five minutes, you're ready to go. Those of you who know my addiction to bean burritos, celebrate with me!
• Age lines have turned back 10 years. Who needs a peel or lift? Let your cells be plumped from the inside and outside by good old H2O. Everyone here looks 10 years younger than they should.
• Forgot to bring lotion? No worries! The same moisture that erases age lines is drenching your entire body. Sweat, lotion, what's the difference, really? It's all shiny on your skin.
• Shortly after the sun rises, it is too hot even for mosquitoes to come out and play. Enjoy bite-free days here in sub-Saharan Africa!
• Get rid of that silly tanning studio membership. Slather on the 70 SPF and watch yourself toast in the heat of the day. Why pay for something you can get for free?
• Home schooling? For a fun biology project, simply leave any food item on the counter for more than 6 hours, and observe the life of fungus. Bonus: on really hot days, you can even watch food decompose in the refrigerator - while it's running!

I could list many more benefits to tropical heat, and certainly have many more to learn. Updates as necessary. :)
