D.C. (continued)

I was also amazed at how hot and humid it was there.  I've honestly never experienced anything like it.  Once you accept the fact that you're just going to sweat until you're basically wringing wet, you can function pretty well.  But there is absolutely NO WAY I would ever live there without having air conditioning in my home.  I can't imagine how the early inhabitants were able to labor during the day and then laying in the sweltering heat/humidity at night.  I wouldn't have made it...
