There will be three main reasons why she will she will want to return home:  December, January, and February.
(Sorry about that- only a joke.)

That is kind of funny about Dec, Jan, and Feb but lately  Michigan hasn't been very cold. The scary thing will be when she thinks spring is finally arriving and that sudden early April storm dumps 12 inches of snow. Another thing will be her first driving experience on ice and snow.

Thanks for the message I hope the best of luck for you and everything works out. I think it is easier to adjust to cold than heat anyways. You can always put more clothes on than take them off. I don't see her skiing anytime soon in below zero weather though ha ha!

You are right about the clothes, I will take winter over a hot summer any day !! But it is true, if your girl really loves you the cold will not make a bit of difference.

Why do the latinas have no problems with freezing ice cold showers but major problems sixty degree weather?

Larry,
You are right,there is nothing colder than a cold shower.I guess the answer is they are used to it and the shower is over quickly.I learned right away you don't linger under a cold shower like a warm one,you get wet,step back,wash and quickly rinse.Rocio says she still takes cold showers here but I guess she means not hot.She lets the water run untill its warm and lets out a yell (no open water!)if you turn on the hot water at a nearby faucet which cools down the shower.
My 1st 2 trips to Colombia I took only one cold shower.We were in a little hotel in Providencia.Rocio gets up and takes a shower,no comment.I get in the shower and let out a yell,"this water is cold!"I asked her"you don't have hot water at home do you?" No,of course not.Last trip we stayed with her family and I took cold showers for a month.I got used to it a bit,but I would still look up at that shower head and say"do I really want to do this?"
How about Bogota?I immagine there is more hot water there but if not you would really freeze,the tap water would be 15-20 degrees colder.
Are you going to Cali Christmas?

That amazes me also, how can these people shower in that cold water.Being nieve I thought everybody has cold and hot running water but was I ever wrong.  I froze my a-- off the first time I stayed at my girlfriends house and I am from a cold climate. For her that is the only way to have a shower but you take her somewhere coolerthan Cali, that I would consider T shirt weather and she is shivering.  Last trip the girlfriend picked up a shower head water heater and had it installed  so I wouldn't freeze when I took my shower. That has to be one of the greatest inventions.
