There’s something about the middle of May that makes us feel a pang of nostalgia for a time when the arrival of summer meant lazy days by the pool or cruising around with the windows down and not worrying about a damn thing until August. Until the U.S. establishes European-style Augusts off, the only solution is to throw on a bright maxi dress, put a glass of something frozen and fruity in your hand and savor a slice of carefree summer anywhere you can find it.
