The SUN was back today! It's amazing what a difference that makes. A city like London can hold its own in the rain. Brisbane can't. The city averages about 250 sunny days per year, the reason Queensland is Australia's Sunshine State. From restaurants, to malls, and even public transport (via ferries) Brisbane is designed for outdoor living.
The city is so much more alive when it's sunny. Today I walked along the river walk to read and write in a park about five minutes from our house. There were rock climbers, people walking on a tightrope, and kids scootering around. There were friends meeting for picnics, girls sunbathing, and photographers framing their shots. It was the perfect afternoon for sitting by the river - eighty degrees and sunny with a beautiful breeze. Believe me, I love being in Australia in any weather, but this afternoon was a perfect taste of the essence of Aussie weather.
