Spring Is Coming

Although the calendar says that it is still winter, here in Mexico City the weather is gliding pleasantly toward springtime.  The nights and early mornings have been less chilly.  In January the thermometer often struggled to make it to 70 F, but now the afternoon highs have been consistently in the mid to high 70s.  And the forecast for the next few days calls for highs in the 80s.  This evening Alejandro and I went out for supper after dark and there was no need to wear a jacket.  

The surest sign that spring is on its way is that the jacaranda trees have started to bloom!
