July

In Europe, it is July when summer is really in full swing. Everyone is on vacation mode, escaping to the mountains or the seaside. July moves slowly, allowing one to take the time to relax and enjoy. I usually spend July at home in Poland, and it is really at this time of year that I get a chance to destress and experience boredom for a change, a feeling that is rare during other months of the year. It is in July that I can read a book for fun, spend hours in the kitchen at a time, or bike for pleasure rather than as a means of transport. It is a refreshing change of pace.
