summer in the middle of asia

the weather can't seem to make up its mind lately... not that it deviates too much from "yeah, it's THAT hot out here," but we've been teased with some midnight thunder and lightning 'storms' (sans rain), and this afternoon it went from sunny-summer-day to dark-and-menacing in a matter of minutes.

(though, even still, all we had was some tempermental wind blowing the city around, and it went back to sunny again.) yeah, i know, it's not rainy season. just thought it would be cool to see a few drops amid the quick moving clouds and blinding flashes in the night sky...

we're learning. miranda and i have been observing and mimicing the locals re: attempting to beat the heat index: like heading to the local public pool and tubing in the local river. it's been good. especially going to some scenic spots within our city to check out the sunsets, as seen above.

life is good! thanks for stopping by.
