It's getting hot in here...

The killer heatwave that's covered Europe means we're feeling the lack of air conditioning even at our monastery on the hill. I've never experienced temperatures like this. At night the heat settles in my lungs and makes it impossible to sleep, during the day is leaves me nauseous and headache-y. And I'm not the only one.

Nonetheless, I've been exploring Verona, eating gelato and hiding in the shade, trying to put off thinking about this Sunday, when I will take a flight back to the United States.
