Madrid, where it’s so hot that …

… your clothes are ready to come off the line by the time you hang them up.

… a cold shower is the highlight of your day.

… you can get heat stroke while eating your 10:00 p.m. dinner.

… the are no clouds in the sky because the sun disintegrates them.

… you can brew your cafĂ© con leche on the sidewalk, giving new meaning to the term “nice, earthy flavor.”

… you can practice Bikram Yoga in your living room.

… you really would do anything for a Klondike bar.

… even a camel would say, “Screw that.”

… when you leave the nightclub at 6:30 a.m., it’s time to apply sunscreen.

… as I write this, I am sweating profusely. Indoors. At midnight.

… thanks to global warming, the city will be uninhabitable in 20 years. Heck, it’s practically uninhabitable now!
