we are opposites.
I HATE high humidity, which we get plenty of in summer here in the Ohio River valley, as well as every variety of mold spores from the Missippi River to hear. It all just blows up the river valley from the westerly winds. Most people have allergy issues and runny noses from that here.

I am more of a 50 - 70 degree temp person with low humidity. Me and tropics do not get along.

How is the health care in Guatemala? Like, if ya need a good cardiologist,in an emergency for example and clean and competent hospitals ? As De can tell ya and now myself, its kinda important. Especially when ya least expect it..

Just something else to keep in mind while exploring other places to live besides the communist states of the former america..

Thanks for researching that. I didn't think about it much, knowing that I don't like equatorial humidity all that much, but knowing that a little bit of height (even 1500 feet, where I can still breath easily) makes a world of difference. And, to a considerable extent, the human body adapts to higher elevations, IN TIME, by increasing lung function).

I am finding I handle higher humidity better than I would have thought and better than higher temperatures. A window airconditioner at nighttime may be all I need to sleep comfortably. In the day time, near 100% humidity doesn't bother me unless the temperatures are also above 90F. Put differently, I seem to cope better with 86-88F daytime high humidity way better than 100F dry. Exercising at 86-88 does make we sweat a lot, though.

I expect to get a lot more practice, later this year, as I expect to spend most of the latter half of the year in tropical locations.
