...where it is cooler, where I can hear opera, where I can go to the corrida, in short anywhere but hot and muggy Houston.
The Artic, Antartic before the icecaps melt?
The Artic, Antartic before the icecaps melt? Dreaming of the old Opera House in Central City, CO
where they present operas during the summer, where it is cooler due to altitude.

And casinos abound nearby for gamesters. And the drive is spectacular.. and a bit scary...steep slopes, crumbling rocks, gurgling brooks which may rise when it rains/or from snowmelt. But beautiful scenery.
Dreaming of Plaza Mexico, to see once more a Rejoneador in baroque costume
putting his trained horses 
through their paces ....or any Plaza in Spain where Cayetano Ordonez performs.. not that Spain right now is much cooler, except perhaps at night in Madrid 
To dream is to enjoy what may be..... To dream is to journey into fantasy lands without breaking the bank....To dream is to hear, to see, to feel, to smell, to taste joy!

Why not add TORONTO to the list?
We have:
Pleasant weather (at present)
Opera (Madame Butterfly coming up)
Theatre (including “Thriller”)
Good restaurants (my favourite: “Pan” in Greektown)
Beaches (Lake Ontario, so big you can’t see the American shore)
Museums (e.g. Ontario Art Gallery, rebuilt by Gehry; Royal Ontario Museum with fantastic addition by Libeskind)
Cheap money: the Canadian Dollar is presently at 86 cents
[Whisper] and a garbage strike. I hope it’s over soon. We were told by the city fathers to clean up after ourselves (Canada Day celebrations were on 1 July), and being nice people, we did.
We are so nice that the following joke is in circulation: In an emergency, how do you clear a Canadian pool in under one minute? Answer: You say very gently: “Would everyone please leave the pool at once.”
Hey, Toronto... sounds good, but the fares? And what about the winter, if one does not possess WARM clothes anymore... in Houston at 100 degrees....wool just will NOT do :).
