How to beat the heat in Piura

Here are some ways I stay cool momentarily in 100 degree temperatures on the northern Peruvian coast

1. Go to the bank daily and act like you are doing buisness-WHY? It´s the only AC in the whole city.
2. Take 4-5 rinse-offs daily
3. Sleep and sit next to a fan (also to keep the mosquitos off me)
4. Sneak into the hotel pool and act like a guest
5. Wear damp clothes
