And, then I went to Basel, Switzerland for a conference. I was so cold that I had to get a new scarf and gloves! It was cloudy most of the time, and it was drizzly. There was actual drizzle coming out of the sky and nobody else was using their umbrellas! Why? Because they thought that it wasn't really raining! What? There was water coming out of the sky... that's rain!
On one of the mostly cloudy, freezing cold days during my trip, people were talking about how "good" the weather was. That is when I realized that sunny Marseille has spoiled me!
Then, when I came back to should-be-sunny-all-of-the-time Marseille, it was raining! It rained for 2 weeks! I found myself complaining about the weather and acting as if it were conspiring against me...
SO, when it finally got sunny, Claire and I spent ALL DAY LONG at a big park in town. We had a picnic, she rode a pony, we played, and we talked about how great the weather was!
Enjoy the pics!

yeah we must have forgotten what it was like to live in paris. remember? here we can't remember the last time we had rain for two weeks straight. then, in paris, we couldn't remember the last time when we had 2 days of sunshine!
Basel...Paris...MOVE TO BRETAGNE!...the official land of eternal rain and cold temperatures. (Actually, Basel and Bretagne are about the same according to the BBC weather map.)
Yes, my friend. You are spoiled. ;)
What a wonderful day at the park.
Being spoiled is OK. Just means you know what you're missing!
Claire looks like she liked the pony.
Love you.
I'm with Rachel on this... I feel I've moved to the land of eternal rain or drizzle and cold. I think my neighbors think I'm a horrible mom because I MUST go outside at least once a day, so yes, we do take walks in the cold rain.
Enjoy the SUNSHINE for us and thank God for it!!!!
