Our Daily Walk

We wanted to devote a post to walking because that is what we do. We walk at least two hours a day. It is 30 minutes to school one way, and we go at least twice a day. During these 30 minute intervals, we must find ways to entertain ourselves. You might think that walking through the lovely Plaza Mayor and in view of 800 year old cathedrals, our walks would be simply delightful. But no. After the second time you walk to school, you get over these things and you notice how much your feet actually hurt. So we have developed a few things that help us get though our walk.

1. Staring at the mannequins in the windows. We walk through a shopping area and look forward to when the mannequins' clothes change. Like yesterday all of them had new clothes! Yay!

2. The sidewalks here are made out of old tiles and cobblestone. Some of these tiles are loose. When you step on them a certain way, they shift and make noise! We like to count how many we step on that move and see who has the most. Currently Kendra has 6 and Michelle has 3.

3. Natalie. So on our walk, we pass a few bus stops that have advertisments. For the first two weeks these advertisments were of Natalie Portman and some perfume. It's nice to see a familar face. However, now the advertisments are different, but it was nice while it lasted.

We also have to avoid being hit by cars or splashed when those cars drive through puddles, but that is not really entertaining....

Paz. Hasta Luego.
