I learned some of the tricks you noted this summer when my daughter went to work as an orientation interpreter at Colonial Williamsburg. She's been telling me what they've taught them about how to remain comfortable in such high heat without compromising their 18th century attire. She's loving her job, heat and all, so I guess these tricks really do work.Jennahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10308158251486924808noreply@blogger.com
