Summer Nights

I wore jeans and a three-quarter sleeve shirt today. And shoes, with socks. I rarely did this in California; it's baffling that at summertime in Rio the weather seems to be demanding it. I'm hoping that there will at least be a few good beach-friendy weeks before I leave, and at the very least some warm summer nights. Going out in the evening is best when you can walk around in skirts and flipflops and the air hugs you in a comfortable sort of way, the kinds of Chicago nights in which we used to play Ghost in the Graveyard and other such games.
