Making it to Nightfall

I've spent nearly ten nights in Australia, and making it to nightfall feels like an achievement every time.  This sounds strange, I know, but its the truth.  With temperatures reaching over 100 degrees in some parts of the country, simply surviving the heat long enough to feel the temperatures drop to mid 60's and 70's at night feels like an actual accomplishment.  Where I'm living in Perth, daily high's usually do not surpass 90 degrees, but imagine places like Alice Springs, which is in the center of Australia's Red Center and the average temperature is 95 degrees during summer months.  I can imagine it feeling similar to holding your breath all day and letting out a full breath of relief as the sun sets over the horizon.  Makes one feel triumphant every day :)
