In the short time we've been here, we have now experienced 3 seasons. Suddenly, it's summer. I think Spring only lasted a few days. Last week, we were still wearing our fleeces but now we're in our shorts.
As you can see above, the men in this area are not shy about doing everything they can to keep cool. This is one of the guys at our favorite bbq place. We were there Friday night and witnessed a ritual that caused me to laugh and to stare in horror at the same time. As the evening wore on, every time I looked up, there were more shirtless guys all around me. I didn't know where to look! The bbq guy was particularly funny since he was doing his best to encourage patrons to strip their shirts off. We watched as he took a guy's shirt off over his head (the one in the background whose shirt is already half off) and then was further amused when a small boy showed off his belly as he was saying goodbye to bbq guy.
Rob had warned us that the men here liked to roll their shirts up past their belly to cool off but it is a sight that has to be seen. We've seen shirts rolled up to show many different belly sizes now. We have even seen pant legs rolled up to show nice dress socks that may or may not match the outfit. I'm a bit worried though cause it gets much warmer here. What the heck am I going to see before the summer is over?
