Living in Europe (more like enjoying one very long vacation) made me realize that I need the sun! It's been more than a week that I've been waking up to dreary weather. So, even if there was work to be done, my kids and I excitedly pulled out our bicycles and went for a ride.

Syempre, the Pinoy in me made me wear my visor and sunblock. We were the only ones wearing caps. Not like the Dutch - they cherish the sun! I do too -- but my vain and health conscious side cherishes skin without the sun spots and (gasp!) age spots.

The days are getting warmer and in a few weeks, the Europeans will be going on vacation. Major cities in France, particularly Paris, will be slightly cheaper. Why? The Parisians will be elsewhere. And with the current exchange rate of the euro, I suggest you plan a visit to your favorite European cities soon!
