Bougainvillea in a Mediterranean climate
We were talking with our son Darin this week and he asked us why we named the blog, “MedFlies?” He pointed out that we would only be near the Mediterranean Sea for three months. What about the rest of the trip?
But the Mediterranean in our MEDflies title represents the Mediterranean climate. All of the places we are visiting sit in the same latitude north or south of the equator. They enjoy mild, temperate weather all year round with lots of sunshine and a modicum of precipitation.
We lived in Santa Barbara, California for twelve years and have a fondness for the flora, fauna and weather that this climate brings. We wanted to see the other four Mediterranean climate zones of the world and how they differ in cultural development. When climate is a constant what is the effect on culture?
So we are Flyers to the Mediterranean climates…MedFlies. What do you think of the name MedFlies for the blog? Other suggestions? We would love to hear your ideas. Send us a comment
