Go for a walk?

“Ya let’s walk down to the shops, we’ll then pray that we can hitch a ride back home” This is a statement or thought that we have all the time, the hill we climb after going to town puts most to shame. It is not so much the grade of the hill, more the length as it extends for about 5 blocks, all the while going up, up, up. It is pretty at the top, but I would trade the half view we have for a house further down. When we walk to school we don’t go down this hill, rather we traverse more across the hill going a combination of down and across, this means that the walk home is not quite as bad. When we walk to friends’ houses it is only down a little ways, and then back up a little ways. When we walk to the city centre (British and Canadian spelling) it is mostly flat, one must watch out for buses, bikes, cars on the wrong side of the road and other pedestrians, at least it is even plane. In case you have not noticed as of yet WE WALK EVERYWHERE! Let’s just say that we have walked more in the weekend in the UK than we did in the last month and half in Indiana. That is good and bad, probably more good than bad, although after today’s travels our dogs are barking. Thank the Lord that Jazz (one of our housemates) has a VW Golf and we all went to Sainsbury’s to buy groceries, it was wonderful to ride in the car and think about tomorrows walk.
