Typicalness

Well, my last blog post had a lot of words in it, so I thought it might be nice to hook you all up with some pictures.  As you know, five days a week I go to language school.  It's not that far from where we live, so I usually walk.  This week I decided to take some pictures of what I typically see on my way.

Walking south on Calle de Fuencarral.  This is where it turns into a
pedestrian walkway.

The stores haven't opened for the day yet, but the
delivery trucks are busy dropping off boxes of product.

Other than the delivery trucks, the street is pretty clear.
Later in the day, Fuencarral will be packed with people.

Then I get to cross Calle de Grand Via.

Just waiting for the light, watching the cars go by.

Crossing Gran Via, enroute to class.

Fuencarral turns into Montera on the south side of Gran Via.

My school is on the first floor,
which would be known as the second floor in the U.S.
Here in Spain, the ground floor is floor zero, which I think is fun
because it reminds me of learning how to work with binary numbers.
Yes, I am a geek :).

This language school is really close to Puerta del Sol,
so I like to go for a little walk and get the blood recirculating at break.
