2012/03/29 - Am I really in Belfast?

I just need to talk for a moment about the amazingly gorgeous weather we've been having in Belfast.

No. Seriously.

Am I really still in Belfast?

Natasha, a native to Thailand, and myself, an American, are baffled by the sun and the warmth and the blue skies. We've had this for a week. Temperature has been holding steady at around  12-18 degrees Celsius (60ish degrees Fahrenheit). No rain, no clouds. According to locals, this is July weather. You know, if it were Belfast July weather all year round, I might not be so depressed or unmotivated, haha! <3


The Palm House. I took a picture of this building when I first arrived in Belfast, back in September.

Absolutely beautiful! I spent nearly all afternoon in the sun yesterday, and I've been going for walks around town, just to get out of the house. Kristy, my flatmate, and I really dig Ormeau park. They have nice walking trails there. I think I may go running there, in preparation of the marathon/walk I'm participating in this June. Plus, there aren't hoards of people there - Botanic Gardens are filled to the rim with college students. It's hard to find a spot to squat! It reminded me of going to the beach, except less ocean/sand and more grass.

Flowers in Ormeau Park. They remind me of home! We used to plant flowers like these. <3

Here's hoping that it'll stay nice! <3 It really has helped with my motivation and work ethic. : ) Is it nice where you are? I hope so! <3 Have fun playing in the sun (don't burn though, that's no bueno!) and getting things done! :D
