The odd thing about traveling at this time of year is the wide variety of weather you encounter. When I left Baltimore two weeks ago, it was quite warm. I probably could've gotten away with shorts and a t-shirt. And, actually, that would've been all right in St. Louis; the temperature there that day hit 94. Then...the temperature gradually dropped, but not too low (it remained warm enough that when we had dinner at the Missouri Botanical Gardens, I could wander around in a light shirt and a light jacket). I came home to a chilly, rainy, dreary DC. Then...the tropics! It was hot. It was humid. I was frequently sweaty and gross. It was like summer again!
And then I came back. We landed in DC and BAM! It was fall. It was a shock, but, you know, it was nice. I'd been having problems believing that it's already mid-October, but this weather sure does help. And I'm enjoying it (now that the heat in my apartment has been turned on, so it's no longer the icebox that it had been). I'm ready for Halloween. Plus, it means my birthday is coming up!
