When I ask the locals here whether this is normal for this time of year, they just look at me and say,. As I was reading about these winds on the internet, it said that this is a cool, dry wind that can move as fast as 90 kilometers an hour. It could be one of the other several wind conditions that can be found here.
Who knows?! But, what we have here is lots of rain along with the 90 kilometer winds. But, who am I to argue with the locals! Wet enough that I have invested in some of those weird rubber boots that are in style now. I never thought I would have a pair of those bootsβ¦. However, they do keep the feet dry! Together, they are creating styles seen only in horror movies!
My poker straight, flat to my head hair now has the capability to stand on end with one swift motion of the wind. If only, I could get it to do that on command.
I think I have had every sensory experience that is possible to have since this wind has kicked up. For that, I say, keep it coming! This past week, I began to explore the vast bus system that we have here in Aix en Provence. I expected that I might find some opportunities for wine tasting there. What a ride! I did find some wine tasting.
But, sadly, I was too late to do any tasting. I planned to go back earlier on another day. But, then it started raining again. Needless to say that it is still on my target list.
