walk to school with lindsey

i hope you enjoy a little slice of my day
tonio walked me there the first day to make sure i knew how to get there
he's such a great husband!
it takes about 20 minutes, not far at all
 out the front door after saying 'see you later' to tonio
 
 down the stairs - we are on the second floor, which is actually the 'first floor'
our first floor in america is the ground floor here - still getting used to it - makes sense, though
 leaving the apartment complex
 it's probably 8:35am - this is our street
 round the corner the next street
 in with the crowds of people - i like that everyone walks everywhere
it's possible in a city like nice, since everything is pretty centralized
 allez - go
 walk through the marketplace
 lots of construction going on around town
 most days i take different streets - keeps it fun and fresh
 a very popular and practical mode of transportation: scooters and bikes
 coming in june - yes!
 heading toward the train trestle
the train went over right as i arrived and continued while i walked under
for those of you who know me from montana, 
you know what a blessing from God this was
i love trains, and God has always used the train to
remind me that He cares for me
it made me smile
 another street
 here, i didn't turn, but continued straight across the cross walk
 market on the corner of the street the school is on
 here we are! rue de paris
 this café is diagonal from the market
in cyprus, the surf spot was called helios, so this also, like the train, warmed my heart
 and the alliance française is at the end of this street
 voilà
 
 main office door
 classroom at 8:57am
one of my classmates offrerred to take a picture of me before class
i thought you might like it ;)
next to me is a classmate - really sweet gal from saudi arabia
she has lived in france for 2 years now with her husband and 2 little girls
 view from where i sat today
and back home after studying french for 4 hours...ahhhh
it's probably 1:25pm
 the glass windows are to our living room terrace
it's covered and insulated, which is great

welcome home! - you can watch the video above to see
our mailbox...i always check it...sometimes 2 or 3 times a day =)
"hutchinson" is just in case we get mail with this name, so the mailman knows that it is, in fact, the proper box

i do hope you enjoyed this little tour - i enjoyed taking you on it
at the end of my school day, it's always a blessing to come home to my incredible husband
