Birthday snow

I woke up today to find it was snowing!. Well, it had been predicted by the Met office yesterday.
Now, for many people around here is normal (the swedish and the germans were not really impressed...), but for me it is amazing. I saw snow in the mountains close to my city three times in my life before coming here: when I was 6 years old, again when I was 16 and the last one when I was 22. Never saw it falling from the sky; so the first time it happened, during my second year in London, I absolutely loved it.

On top of that, this time it happened on my birthday. Cool!. I am staying at my friend Michy's place, which is a 5 min-walk to Hyde Park. So, since the transport turns crazy when it snows, we decided to walk through the park and try to catch a bus from Marble Arch to work. I took many pictures!. My feet ended up wet (the Converse trainers are not made for these adventures, but hey!, I forgot I had the other pair at work) and my trousers too.

In the end we managed to catch the tube from Marble Arch, so as I walked from St. Paul's to the lab, I enjoyed another bit of snow. I actually found myself walking slowly, slowly, letting the flakes fall on my face and be trapped on my eyelashes. It was freezing!, but I really liked it.

What a nice birthday present!!!.
