So much of the culture of the South comes from the heat and humidity. My wife (German) is always remarking on how slow I walk if I'm not pressed for time. You learn to be a little leisurely if you come from a place where you can't even roll out of bed in the morning without breaking a sweat.

Sweet ice tea is one thing I sorely miss living here in Europe. In Georgia, that was the only way I knew to beat the heat from my earliest recollections. A big glass of tea with condensation dripping off it, a shade tree and an old swing that creaked when you got it going. (Maybe on Sunday we'd make homemade ice cream with fresh peaches.)

And I know, you'll say I could make tea here but it just don't taste the same. Besides, a gallon jug don't fit in the dinky little refrigerators they have here (if you can even find a gallon jug).

Ain't that the truth? *Sigh.* Nothing like it.

You live in Europe & you miss sweet iced tea? Why? They have tea there & sugar & ice........oh it must be the boiling water they don't have.
