Well, it was nice weather for about one day. That may be an accomplishment for Rome. I returned from Spring Break very late Sunday night. Monday was an unusually beautiful day in Rome. It was warm and sunny. Everyone had spring fever in Rome. Since I had been gone for over a week and a half, I have no idea what the weather was like while I was gone. The difference from when I left to when I returned was noticable, though.
On my walk to school, I saw so many people out in the streets. Usually it is a little cold or rainy, and people tend to stay indoors. Not yesterday, though. Romans were outside enjoying the weather. I saw shop owners talking to other Italians outside. Students and families were walking around, laughing and talking with each other. Many more street vendors had tables set up along the sidewalks. Even the men I usually see selling roses or umbrellas were selling bright yellow spring flowers.
The warm weather just puts everyone in a better mood. I know it made me happier yesterday, even though I had to be in class all day and not outside celebrating the weather.
And then the rain came... I woke up at 7:50 a.m. this morning when I had to leave at 8:00 a.m. for my on-sight class. I threw moccasins and sweatpants on. Poor choice. It ended up pouring, and I am now soaking wet for the rest of the day. I have no desire to venture outside for lunch. I would rather sit in this computer lab and wait for classes to be over. Rome was just teasing us yesterday. Aftering being in the warmth of Tunisia for a week, this makes me long for warm weather even more. At least I am not in Philadelphia with feet and feet of snow every week or so..
