Weather

It's supposed to be in the mid-high 70s and sunny today and tomorrow here in San Sebastián.  Unfortunately, I forgot to check what temperature it was when I left the house.  Even though I wore a wool cardigan over my blouse and tights under my skirt, I was FREEZING and cranky waiting at the bus stop.  The bus was 2 whole minutes later than it said it would be, so I had to wait almost 10(!) minutes for the bus.

This is a sign of how truly spoiled I have become.  In Chicago, I routinely waited longer than 20 minutes for a train, often in temperatures that were actually freezing - not mid-50s and sunny! It is really amazing that door to door, it has not taken me longer than 30 minutes to get to work so far.  That is a huge cause for celebration since my commute in Chicago was so fraught with uncertainty (will it take me 30 minutes?  An hour and a half?  Who knows!).

The real "problem" with the weather here is that the temperature swings so much throughout the day.  I really need to be much better about layering - something that is tricky given my current wardrobe!  I'm thinking about ordering some things to Chicago and having Pete bring them to me in Puerto Rico.  Currently at the top of the list are tops I can wear with the skirts I have here and maybe a couple of cardigans.
