How’s your back sweat situation right now? Probably pretty bad. Don’t tell me about it, I already know. Here in Ljubljana (the capital of Slovenia), it’s in the upper 80s and we’re all sweltering. So I’m getting a visual break from the heat by compiling shots of the wonderfully cold water I’ve swum in or been near in the last two weeks, in Croatia. Warning: Serious envy possibilities here. I envy my past self as I sweat my way through the afternoon here.
