why I love walking...

I love to walk to places. I love to people-watch. I love enjoying the scenery. Walking 30-40 minutes to class and back at least two separate times a day takes up a significant amount of time, but definitely has its perks. I realized that I walk on average about 2 to 3 hours each day. No wonder I see so many random things. Thursday afternoon was pretty monumental.

The way to class:

- 2 whistling men
- 1 man playing a harmonica-type instrument, on a bike, in a small street.
- A saxophone and accordion duet (a very unique and somewhat enjoyable sound...who knew?!)
- A camera crew preparing for some sort of news special (my guess)...on the corner where that little shop was with the moldy pastries. The man working had many things laid out and displayed to look nice. I wasn't fooled!

The way home from class:

- A homeless woman peeing on the sidewalk. (I now have to stop and wonder if all of the poop on the sidewalks are from dogs...I guess I shouldn't assume these things.)

  1. Yesterday my mom and I were walking down Sierpes and saw a mom holding her little boy over a drain in the sidewalk and he was peeing into it. It was odd and a bit disturbing.
