I went to Evansville, IL to visit my sister who moved there after she got married.
- I loved the old world feel of the area.
We went on tours and balloon rides, but I preferred being in her home. She had an amazing home that had excellent HVAC. What amazed me was the fact that she had a humidifier in her air conditioning unit. Back home, we were always fighting the summer humidity. I was used to severe thunderstorms every afternoon, that made the outside feel like a sauna, and I didn’t even want to go swimming after the rain ended. Here, there was very little rain. The air was dry, and I burned quickly. After a few days, the only time we went out was after dark. That’s when we went on our balloon ride. They had a sunset balloon ride of the city, and it was thrilling. I couldn’t believe how beautiful the city was from the air. We spent a couple of hours getting a tour of the city from the balloon. Once we got back down, the air felt cooler than the 64 degrees it showed on the thermometer. I had to wear a light jacket when we went strolling down the streets at night. I could understand why my sister and her husband chose to live in IL. With four distinct seasons, but a mild climate, I couldn’t think of any reason why I wouldn’t want to move to Illinois sometime in the future. The consideration was there, but I had to talk to my boyfriend before making any concrete plans.
