Chapter 04: The Climate
Before I go in depth into the other aspects of the community, I have to make a little parenthesis to comment on the only “non-paradise” feature of the place: the climate! Coming from Uruguay, Quebec seemed horribly dry to me. It is, however, nothing compared to how dry the climate is up there in Nevada Hills! I also had the “pleasure” of being able to visit in an especially dry summer, so I got to meet the climate at its worst.
Unfortunately, I wasn’t willing to put too much energy into adapting to the climate, since I would be back into the humidity in so little time and I was afraid I’d have to go through a re-adaptation to humidity. My body did start adapting anyway, although slowly.
All in all, the climate didn’t affect me as bad as it could have, although it did affect me to some extent. For one, my lips went dry, and no matter how much water I drank, they didn’t start healing until my last day, when I was going back to Granby anyway. They hurt and the skin around them was hurt, too, becoming red and making it seem I had the lips dirty and swollen! Curious effect, but it happened. Also, the new climate made me more tired than usual and my nights became troubled, which accounts for me sleeping some nine hours a night and still being tired often during the day.
In summary: I’m grateful that the climate was as bad as it was! If that (and the bag/travel problems) was the price I had to pay for all that came to me during the week, then I think it was an extremely cheap price!
