April showers, May flowers

Hi all,

I'm sorry it takes me longer and longer to write you guys an awesome blog! It's just, I don't really do that interesting touristy stuff anymore. Actually, I don't feel like a tourist anymore, and I'm happy if I can have my lazy days in the weekends, without having to use the subway!

So this weekend was strange, at least weather-wise, almost Dutch, I'd say. Yesterday was great, we had a great tour in the Jewish museum (not that I really care, but the tour was still great), and afterwards we had a very good Peruvian dinner! mmm. But the weather was in one word: HORRIBLE. By the time I got home, I was totally soaked. And it was not only raining, it was thundering, lightning, very very windy, it was one big storm (which I actually enjoyed very much by the time I was inside :D). My lab friends taught me the following: 'April showers, May flowers...' Well, indeed, April showers, yesterday was definitely not the first time I got very very wet. However, I managed to get some of my flowers already this weekend :). Lucky lucky me :D

Today finally was very very nice! I've been so jealous about all the good weather drinks-in-the-park stories from you.. So today, I went to the Brooklyn Botanical Garden, to have - finally - my part of flowers, spring, and sunshine! It was just great. And I was surprised how many people were there, I mean, it's 'just' a garden.. I loved it, really, if I would really live here for, say, a long long time, I would become a member, so I could expand my backyard! That'd be great, that'd be awesome :) But sadly, I don't live here for a long time, so no nice backyard for me..

So definitely April showers, and I can just hope that May really flowers!
