1/15/12
In all, yesterday we were outside for over 6 hours. Let me remind you it’s January! Back home I wouldn’t stay out for more than 20 minutes if I didn’t have to because the weather is so gross there. Here it is always sunny (we're been here over 8 days and haven’t seen a drop of rain- not to jinx myself) and at least a high of 57. People have already gotten sun burn on their faces! Also, I’m currently writing this from our terrace where I am sitting in the sun with only a light jacket on and it’s only late January.
The sun is so different here- ok so it’s not actually possible to be different.. I think the biggest noticeable difference is that the sun is actually out and shining, unlike the cloudy winters of State College and Pittsburgh. The angle of it is what is most noticeable- at noon it is nowhere near overhead. It is so low that it never makes it past the angle where is is annoyingly in your eyes no matter which we you turn. Regardless, I’d rather be constantly blinded by the sun than not see it for months at a time!
