Fall is here

This week has been characterized by a distinct turn toward autumn. Starting with last Saturday’s hike in the mountains near Sliven, I have begun to notice that the leaves in certain trees are already turning colors and even falling. And, for the first time, I had to dig out my sweaters and jackets; the past few days have been particularly nasty: blustery, cool, and rainy. If you click on the weather bug to the right, you’ll see just how chilly it is—and it’s still August! Of course, this is a temporary cold spell, and it will get warmer again, but the trend to cooler weather is unmistakable now as I head into my second Bulgarian winter.

The same weather here in Budapest. Anyway, last year it was really interesting as weather turned cold and rainy when we left for Paris (note: you have to know that in Budapest mid-September is usually still warm). And in Paris it was sunny and warm (although it is said to be colder in mid-September). And when we returned to Budapest, we brought the sunny weather with us :)
