THE SPANISH AND THE SNOW

SNOW

 

 

And finally the real snow came to Finland!! It was a huge surprise when l woke up on a Saturday morning, like any other day and find out that it has been snowing the whole night. I love when the city is cover by the snow and it is totally white.

I get dressed, had quick breakfast and got out to play with the snow, yes you read right, play with the snow, not only kids enjoy playing in the snow, spanish too.

 Is not true that in Spain  is summer all year, in some spanish cities snows also at this time of the year, specially if you live in a mountanious areas. In Madrid, the city were I am from, it snows only once or twice per year, but not as much snow as in Finland, normally the snow doesn´t last more than two days, and it is a big chaos at the city.

I like snow fights a lot, I normally lose, I have to recognise that I am slow making the snow balls  and also a bit clumsy, is hard for me to walk on the snow, I normally fall down many times, my friends make jokes about how I walk on the snow, they think that I am walking like a penguin, but I don´t agree with them. The activity I like the most is make a snowman!!!! Is not so easy at the beginning, you need lot of patience and a right technique.

This was one of my first time making a snowman, as you can see the result was not so wonderful, but I had lots of fun making it. I didn´t know well how to make a big compact snow ball for the body. I am pretty sure that with practise I will make a nice snowman some day. Please Finnish people don´t destroy snowmans at the street if is not yours!!! It is not nice to find out the next day that your snowman is not there anymore.
