Photo Of The Day: Summer In The City

It's only April, but many of us have already switched to iced coffee and put away our sweaters. Now's the time to start thinking about summer vacation, whether you plan to explore a national park or soak up the culture in a city like Havana. When you're a kid, summer is all about playing outside and staying cool, preferably with lots of ice cream and water projectiles. Today's Photo of the Day by Flickr user ahalvoresen is from Luang Prabang, Laos, where some local children are beating the heat with every water source available. Makes me nostalgic for pool parties and Super Soakers, before summer became a time to complain about high electricity bills and humidity. Enjoy it while it lasts, we'll soon be back to complaining about the cold.
