The Sun has returned to Malaga!

In recent weeks, the weather has been getting better and better. Even the Spanish, who frequently complain about how cold it is, have been shedding their winter coats. On weekend days, the bars and restaurants near the beach are packed with people enjoying the weather and free tables can be hard to come by. Cruise ships are a normal in the harbor and tourists beginning to flock here. On the beach, a few daring individuals can even be seen soaking up some sun. With all of this, there is an upbeat atmosphere in which it is nearly impossible to be anything but happy.
At the guardería, we have been taking advantage of this gorgeous weather to take the kids outside to play. Normally they need a bit of prodding to gather up the toys discarded all over the floor. When they are told that we are going outside as soon as they clean up, they need little incentive more and quickly get to work. Cooped up inside, they often become cranky and pick fights with the other children over toys or other minor issues. As soon as we go outside, all the children’s faces light up with smiles as they run around cheerfully. There is little bickering and everyone enjoys a nice afternoon in the sun. It’s amazing what a difference the sun can make and the happiness that it can bring.
