October

This is the first city I have lived in that I have actually experienced a Fall. The mornings are mild and the sun just barely burns up all the vapor in the air by noon. The afternoons are bright, airy, and you can take off your sweater and replace it with sunglasses. By three or four, the wind kicks back up and the evenings are cool. I know Lola would love this weather. I really am enjoying it and in Hangzhou, the osmanthus blooms. The entire city smells so sweet as you are walking down the streets. The streets are lined with osmanthus trees and their yellow buds are captivating. Wish you all we here with me!
