Cold

Before it's even time to start packing for a trip, I often find myself making a list in my mind about what I want to bring with me, what the weather will be like, how I will be able to wash clothes. This trip hasn't been much different in that I've tried to put myself in the mindset that it will be COLD. The average temp in Cannes is about 47*F in February and living in Southern California for the last three years, doesn't exactly prepare you for temperatures below 65*F. That being said, Mother Nature and Lady Luck have teamed up together to help me actlimate to colder weather. We have a cold front hitting us and the temperatures are FREEZING-- literally. The high was 50*, but the low is 20*, and I think it's closer to the low out there. This has all been compounded by the fact that our heater just broke last night. Yes folks, it's been a little chilly in the Rose residence today and it doesn't seem to be getting fixed quite soon enough (although, really, when it's this cold, you wanted the heater to be fixed yesterday). So now I'm getting a good sense of how it's going to be for at least the next month...
