Sitting in the sun

Per request of my mother I am going to try to post more blog entrys.

Right now I am sitting in the sun at the health center. I normally sit inside but it's too cold in the shade and the sun feels amazing. It's been getting cooler here but still not as cold as it is in MI. At night it's around 57 degrees and during the day if the sun is shining it can be in the high 60's or 70's. It feels a lot colder here though because I don't really have an escape from the coldness. There are no heaters here except for the wood burning cookstove. Last night when I went to bed my room was 57 degrees and it was a challenge to get to sleep in the coldness. I can't get to sleep unless I am warm and cozy in my bed, to get to this point sometimes I have to wear layers to bed including two sweatshirts and sleep in my sleeping bag rated for 30 degrees. Maybe a heated blanket will be on the list of things to bring back from the states. I like winter and coldness but my most favorite part of winter is curling up in a warm house possibly near a fire and with hot chocolate. I don't like being out in the cold too long. I am ok with being in the sun for now, bet you wish you could be here too :)
