lunch time walk

I took a long walk with a new friend at lunch today – and it was lovely! I’m more and more impressed with this city the more I see of it. I can’t get over how clean the streets are. Most are lined with big trees, wide sidewalks, and a lack of crowds. The city is not overcrowded in any way. The people are friendly and non-hassling. The sun is shining and there is a sea breeze that catches you when you step out to cross the street. School children with their matching uniforms and backpacks walk in threes, vendors await at corner streets with fresh fruit and juices, mamas with huge baskets of seeds and nuts on their heads pass by in brightly colored skirts. Everything looks better when you have a friend in the city. :-)
