Cheers to all!
Today, I saw the sun for the first time in weeks. You do not realize how much you appreciate the light and warmth that it brings until it is no longer there. Living in London has a great many perks, but the weather is certainly not one of them. For instance public transportation. I may occasionally complain about how long it takes to get from one station to another or how crowded it is getting on in the morning, but then I think how busy it would be if all of these people were driving cars. It would be simply chaotic.
Sunshine is a big deal here in London. When the weather resembles what may be a sunny day, people are out in short sleeves and on some occasions you can find women sun bathing in Regents Park, while it is still 40 degrees outside. Here the sunshine is like a state of mind. It brings happiness and joy! It is simply invigorating. It does not happen often in the winter and when it does you just have to go out and dance in its glorious rays! I know, I did that very thing today.
The other simple pleasures of spring: the blossoming flora and fauna! Rocío and I saw this beautiful tree while we were in Notting Hill this afternoon. It matches the door, which is half of the reason it is so cool! Who cannot look at flowers and be awed by their beauty and fragrance? I know that I cannot.

London is just so magnificent. Yes, there are rough areas, but there are rough areas everywhere. You just have to learn to enjoy and appreciate those areas because that is where some of the worlds most successful people come from. Beauty is all around us, you just have to know where to look.
Cheerio! More to come later!
