This winter weather has me thinking about warmer temperatures, and not because I am cold and impatient for summer. I actually enjoy the winters months, much more than I enjoy sweating during the summer. It's the gray tones and lack of sunshine that has my mind drifting to a warmer, sunnier, winter I experienced in May of 2009. Well of course we all know that winter is not in May, unless of course, you are in Africa! Here are a couple of links and a photo from my five-week long trip to Africa. Perhaps it will help your mind wander over this wintry weekend?
