même pas tombée!

My horse riding lessons are on Mondays, so today was obviously a good day. I jumped, and while it wasn't my best day, it went okay. My hand position has improved, although it's not what I'd like it to be (I still forget to grab some mane). And I still can't think of a jump far enough ahead, but that should come with time (who knows when...). A good

Man, I got really sweaty yesterday after my run. I'm glad it didn't accumulate into foam! That would have been really embarrassing!

I like your mom's street. I wish we had more streets like that in the U.S. and less big box McMansion houses with huge, water-guzzling yards nobody spends any time in, so far away from everything that you have to drive everywhere.

What you can see on that picture is dog poop everywhere on the street! But if that was different, yes, it'd be a great street to live on! It's fairly quiet, a 20 minute walk to downtown (the bus station is right at the corner though), and they're building the a tram line too now there (it's a mess now, but it'll be great once it's over). There's a post office, a pharmacy, all kinds of doctors, many schools, many parks, and two supermarkets within 10 minutes of walking. I miss that a lot! The only sad thing is that there aren't any bakeries withing walking distance anymore. There used to be two and they have closed down now. There used to be a "boucherie/charcuterie" but that closed down a while ago too.

Do you think we tested that 20 minutes walk time enough that summer?

I sure do!

Very nice picture. The architecture is indeed very typical of the Strasbourg area!

Nice picture. One thing I really love is the whole flowers pots hanging down from the windows. Quite a sight in spring. =)

Then you'll like this picture I took downtown Strasbourg. Alsatians have a thing for geraniums!
