Cold Around The World

Hiking in the snow - Mirror Lake Trail, Oregon

I am definitely a cold weather kind of person. I’m the only person in the room that will say “I’m not looking forward to summer”. I love the snow, the mountains, and beating the cold with warm drinks and cozy clothing. And cold weather usually doesn’t stop me from enjoying cold ice cream!

Sometimes my weather preference surprises people because I am Mexican. But Mexico City isn’t as hot as you would think, it is at an altitude of 7000 feet after all.

Do you prefer hot or cold?

Even though it was pretty chilly in Victoria, BC when we were there, gelato was a good idea.

I am used to feeling hot in beaches (they’re usually tropical), but it was definitely cold at Cannon Beach when we went to visit.

But during the summer in Vienna, Austria, a large bowl of cold deliciousness is in order.

Snow!

Surrounded by cold! I love playing in the snow.

  3. Love the winter… but ONLY in photos!! Funny, Mani, how you’re Mexican-born and love the cold.. while this here native Canuck is so much happier in this here heat.. (Montreal is a deep freeze these days, oh so glad NOT to be there) Ahhh! Proof positive that where we’re born is no reflection of our body’s preferred climates 😉

  6. My favorite picture was you in the North Carolina winter. I love when the snow covers the trees. The picture was a contrast between the white of the snow and the black of your coat.
