Acclimatizing to Curacao

Yay! Made it to the South American continental shelf! Curacao, while an island often considered part of the Caribbean, is technically sitting on the same base as South America!

Also, just found out (while writing) that September is the hottest month of the year in Curacao, and the readings these days have been considerably above the usual high. So, maybe it's somewhat normal that I'm feeling heat-related health issues.

Weird, after doing a couple of chores left-handed, within seconds, my brain is already I think rewiring itself to feel mildly left-handed or reversed.

I think Curacao has a CARbon-based culture and economy. People drive everywhere, and I think there are some sizable oil businesses on the island (later found out that oil is indeed a big part of the economy). Seems like toxic fumes everywhere, and not many people out walking in the streets. Not my kind of culture. Supposedly second-highest per capita carbon emissions of any country.

Record high temperature for Curacao: 38.3 degrees C in September. Too hot for me!

Looks like October and November are usually only slightly cooler than September.

I think it's gonna probably be unpleasantly hot as long as I'm in Curacao.

Does nearby Venezuela have the same climate? Would maybe explain some of the craziness???

Lots of AC in the works!

Two weeks to figure out the basics of Curacao? One illness?
