Spring????

Reports from back home are of the Indian Summer you guys are experiencing in North Texas.

Keep in mind that things are reversed down here south of the equator. Not only does water drain clockwise not counter-clockwise (as proven by Lisa Simpson) but it is spring, not fall here.

And while Texans are out on the lake enjoying an endless summer... WE ARE FREEZING TO DEATH!!

We awoke today with the temp hovering at 9 celcius (48F—I know, I know that is a long way from freezing... but remember I'm from Texas!) and the wind was blowing like a bat out of hell. My fellow expats from Chicago (mike and frank) probably felt right at home.

The great thing about the weather in Buenos Aires—stick around it will change. Ahh, just like back home.

I wonder if they call it an "Indian Winter" here.

I'll leave you with images from when the weather was a little more spring like. The Nike 10K was held here last weekend. The images are from the Cartel Endorfina site. Please click on the link to see more amazing shots of Buenos Aires.

Spring Is Almost Here...

Well, not quite yet. It has been cold and rainy the last two days. I snapped this photo from our balcony yesterday after the rain had stopped. It's raining again today. I can't wait for warmer weather to see this wonderful city at its best.

It is weird getting use to spring falling right on the heals of our hot Texas summer. ( Remember the seasons are reversed down here south of the equator.) It has been a very cold winter here in Argentina. The cold was a wonderful change from the August heat back in Texas...at first. It's novelty has worn off.

Although it hasn't been that bad since we landed. The weather here is a lot like Texas in that it can be frigid cold one day and 82 the next. In a few months, I'm sure I'll be complaining about how hot and humid everything is... Just like back at home!
