SO I LOVE SUMMER

For most of my life, living in a tropical country, winter was the season that I liked most. But, since I've been living here, and winter is long, wet and dark, my preference has changed drastically. 

Although I still like the cold days, summer became my favorite time of the year. The Canadian cities are happier and prettier in the summer. The long sunny days makes us able to explore the outdoors in different ways: hiking, swimming, camping, having pic-nic, fishing, horse riding, boating, biking, kayaking, canoeing and many other options. 

Not only people stay up later on the streets, but also they flock to the restaurant patios, outdoor pools, as well as lakes. In addition, there are so many free things to do such as Outdoor Movie Nights, Music Festivals, parades and carnivals. Kids love to play in the water parks, which also are free and very funny. If you like to find good deals, or just look around your neighborhood, there are plenty of garage sales during this season. 

Moreover, for those who like to travel, this is the best time of the year for a road trip. On the other hand, for those who like to relax, it's a perfect moment to feel the sun on your back or just contemplate a starry night while sipping a glass of wine. 

But, hot days don't mean only a possibility of different activities. It is also about a joyful atmosphere and people celebrating life. It's to be in bare-feet, and feel the grass. It's to glimpse a gorgeous butterfly. It's a profuse sense of gratitude when our hearts and bodies are warm. Therefore, I love summer, more now than ever.
