A Walk in SWEATral Park
And huge.
We walked 2 hours.
Over 4 miles.
And maybe we hit about 1/8 of it.
It was August.
It was 90 degrees.
Plus 90% humidity.
At one point I felt like the next step would be death.
My sweat did not glisten any longer, it reflected my last moments of life.
My husband is a funny man.
I was not amused.
I made it through that day.
Barely.
How do people live in humidity. Please explain it to this California girl.

That's the only kind of heat I know. But being "only" 90 degrees would feel like I was living in an outdoor air conditioner! It's usually closer to 100-105 here. With 90% humidity. Ahhh....welcome to East Texas! :)

i live in nc and it does get very humid here in the summer. when it gets really bad, we crank up the air and drink a lot of fluids. humidity is not my friend. it is the reason that i love fall! oh, and i didnt know central park was so big!

Yes - lots and lots of water.
I love this first photo. It's very frame worthy. :)

Water will help but I would not even go take a walk in 90 degree weather lol

Every time I go to NYC, it is a lot of walking! And it always seems like it is reeeally cold and windy, or it's just too hot! Tough to find a happy medium.
