Awesome Thing About Living in Europe #12: Sleeping with Fresh Air
Almost all of the apartments here do not have air conditioning...including ours. Now, I am sure some of you are gasping to yourselves right now. But, no worries. The Polish summers are not nearly as warm as they are in Chicago. (Poland is on the same latitude as Winnepeg, Canada in case you were wondering). So, in order to keep the apartment cool we keep almost all of our windows open almost all of the time. We get a great cross breeze that comes through the apartment. At first we were worried about bugs and mosquitos but since we are pretty high up it hasn't been an issue. It is especially nice having our windows open at night. Its such a wonderful feeling to fall asleep and wake up to a nice cool breeze...ahhhhhhhh! Its so funny that this simple pleasure brings us so much relaxation. Now, lets hope that the Polish summer stays normal and we don't get any crazy hot days here. : )
