We flew from Palermo to Madrid on Thursday, July 13. The temperature in Madrid was over 100 and felt like a preview of what would be ahead when we arrived home in Tucson. On Friday, we flew at noon from Madrid to Miami, Miami to Chicago, and Chicago to Tucson, arriving by 11 PM. It was hot, but Tucson had just been doused by a rain shower, so was more humid than normal. As we stepped out of our Uber at home, we smelled rain.
Yesterday was our first full day at home since May 23. We walked early in the morning. We have a bit of jet lag, so we caught up on emails and went through the mail, went to the grocery, did laundry, and relaxed. We got more rain in the afternoon! Tucson has received over 3" of rain in the past week, according to our rain meter. Our timing was terrific! We missed the worst of Tucson's June temperatures and arrived back in Tucson for the monsoon season, that cools the air most afternoons. Its nice to be home!
