Here we are in the middle of winter, and today when I went cycling around 10 a.m. (it is a national holiday) it was sunny, about 19-20C; when I was passing by the beach at the end of my ride a couple of hours later, it was 23-24C and there were people in the water (English tourists, probably). Meanwhile, the nearest ski resort, Portellano in Sierra Nevada, 400 km away, has plenty of snow for my wife's enjoyment in January :-) Nathan Nathan Wajsman Alicante, Spain http://www.frozenlight.eu http://www.greatpix.eu http://www.nathanfoto.com Books: http://www.blurb.com/bookstore/search?search=wajsman&x=0&y=0 PICTURE OF THE WEEK: http://www.fotocycle.dk/paws Blog: http://www.fotocycle.dk/blog On Dec 8, 2009, at 10:26 PM, Geoff Hopkinson wrote: > Gene, then you won't want to hear that it is 25 Celsius in the living room > here at 7:20 am.
