Corn sweat ~ yeah, that's a real thing! We were in the Peloponnese region two years ago, and it was also brutally hot, but we were lucky enough to have A/C and the Argolic Gulf nearby. False sense of security indeed..

The words corn and sweat should have never been put together, but here we are!

and yeah, I'd love to get back to the Peloponnese, definitely reading rental listings more carefully next time

We visited Paris about ten years ago. Our rental had no AC. It reached 103 F one day. Elderly people were dying in droves. They just shrugged. In Paris they’re somebody else’s problem I guess….

Oh man that is brutal. We didn't hear about any old folks dying in that Greek heatwave, just tourists who decided to go hiking
