Living in a hot climate

So when we moved to Italy I thought that this summer I would be lounging outside, in the sunshine working on getting a tan and reading books while Reese played in the shade in the yard. Being from Canada that's what we DO when it's nice in the summer!!! Well you don't do that here in Italy! Instead of lounging outside and soaking up the heat and sun I am literally hiding from it in my air conditioned living room!!!!!!
Today it feels like +40 with the humidity and that is WAY hotter than it needs to be in my opinion!! We still go outside to play a few times a day but the length of time that we stay out is quite short because you just get overheated SO quickly. HMMMMMMM

WHO KNEW!?!?!
