For the most part, the weather was the same as always: sunny, only a few clouds and warm (in my opinion) for January. However, I did wake up one morning to cloudy skies, and it rained that night and the following day! It was a welcomed change (and the perfect weather for watching Netflix in bed).
Because I live in the city, I don't often see wild animals other than birds. I do, however, see people walking their dogs all the time. My street is a four-lane road, but it's split in the middle by a small park that runs the entire length of the road. There are some outdoor cafes, bike racks and metro stops along it, but people also use it as a walking path. Sometimes, people even have strollers for their dogs!
