Actually...don't know if its bragging,but this afternoon I was on my scooter going to work.

The hailstorm started out of nowhere..absolutely torrential.I was soaked in about 30 seconds.I should have stopped but I was late for a meeting so I went on..the hailstones were hitting me so hard in the face that I could hardly see where i was going.

When I arrived 5 minutes later I was completely drenched...head to toe.

And I had no clothes to change into...the only stuff i had was a Santa Claus costume (yes,really..it was for a teacher in a school to dress up and give out presents to his students)

So...i got changed into that and had my meeting dressed as Santa.....in bare feet.

Once again 15°, Palm trees are slowly swinging in the wind, the noises of the waves and the rolling stones when they get splitted at the beach, the azur blue from the water, the blue sky and the sun without any clouds and some birds, seagulls mostly looking to find some food - and as long you can see in each direction no tourist at the horizon.
Sorry Luca!

Indeed Lucapal, great story- would have loved to see your colleagues' faces when you walked in...;-)
Similar weather here- except it's not touching 30C nowdays- mostly max around 27 or 28C.

And unlike you Thomas we still have plenty of tourists ;-)

Cruise shops are full (mostly Americans but some Europeans too) and the budget flights are full as well.....

There must be an exchange as here nothing is nice in the moment, it is raining, 8° and cold. Ski resorts are open of course but the weather is bad up there too.

Cruises start here again in March. But the comming weekend the tourism goes on over the last two weeks this year. Most French people, not so much strangers in the beginning now. At the end of the year Italians will overfluting the coast like all other years. But they are more or less at home here..

Maybe because of my proximity to Bugarach (128 km according to Google Maps), the end of the world doesn't seem to have happened here. 14°, a bit of drizzle on and off and some gusts of wind. We too are supposed to have warmer weather this weekend.

Our Chinatown is very small -- a couple of shops downtown, so no lights like yours, Arizona.

Speaking about Cancun...I just saw a piece on the news here about a theme park there (called something like Crococun...as they have crocodiles ;-)....... and the large group of dopey tourists (including several Italians...not only the Americans can be blamed for this) who were waiting to see the end of the world there..........
