Back to winter

going from the dead of summer to winter in the space of 10 hours can be somewhat disorienting... as we were starting our descent into buenos aires ezeiza international airport this morning, the pilot was giving local weather conditions... at 8 a.m., just two hours before landing, the temperature was -2C/29F, unusually cold for buenos aires even at this time of year, and definitely a BIG CHANGE from the low 90sF when we landed in new york's jfk yesterday evening... ah, but the sky is a brilliant blue and there's still plenty of greenery... a lot of the trees keep their leaves year-round... the ones along the street just outside my window are all bare, however, which means more of that bright sunshine... i'm glad to be back...!
