This is a sight you never see:
It was so hot this weekend (temperatures in the 100s), I think everyone fled to cooler locations or to a body of water. After grabbing brunch with some friends in the morning, we hunkered down in our AC for most of the afternoon. Only once the sun was well behind the mountains did we decide it was safe enough to walk and get a few scoops of gelato.
I ran to the grocery store on Sunday afternoon because I knew it wouldn't be very crowded, and when walking back to the apartment the square was completely empty. In our two years of living here, there has always been a handful of people out, even on the hottest days. To see our usually bustling town look deserted was definitely a change.
Next weekend isn't looking much better, so I'm trying to plan a weekend escape from these three digit temps. Right now we're looking at Asiago, Lake Como, or Cortina d'Ampezzo. Currently, Cortina is winning with a cool 85 degree forecast. How are you guys beating the heat?
