Lovely Day

Buen dia,

In Salamanca's Plaza Mayor there were tons of restaurants that kept tables set up outside year-long for the patrons. Of course these tables were lonely most of the spring semester I was there - it was too cold to eat outside. But then a random sunny day would come along and the Plaza would be booming! People everywhere filling these tables as if there weren't enough chairs to go around. Sunglasses and iced drinks and cigarettes and sun dresses and sandals. It reminded me of home.

That's what Brooklyn was like today. With snow still on the ground from last Sunday night's blizzard it reached almost 70 degrees! Suddenly every restaurant had a patio and people were wearing dresses and flip-flops and sunglasses. It was glorious. I was out of the house at 9 a.m. and on my way back from the store I passed 2 train stops so that I could soak up more of the sun. The long walk was worth it!

I spent some time out in my gated front yard with Midnight throwing the stick back and forth and I came home to a bright open house full of sunlight and fresh air.

'twas a lovely day :) and I really need to get a camera.
