Our Route to School

Follow us as we walk, ride, & walk to school, 
three mornings a week, beginning at 6:50am.

The view from the window of our elevator lobby

Outside our building door







The sidewalk inside our complex


Just about to exit the locked gate of our complex.





At one of our intersection crossings


One of our landmarks to remember which direction to turn

Notice how the red car is parked. It did receive a ticket, by the way.




Entering the subway station

Not a very busy time on the subway. The first subway train we ride.


Changing subway lines

The second subway train we ride




Typical scene - everyone looks down at his iPhone and no one talks



Exiting the subway

















Crossing the parking lot to the school

  1. Great pictures! Is it hot there? It seems you're one of the few wearing shorts and sandals.

  2. Helen, some days it is hot here. We find that we get warm as we walk. Although the day starts out cool, we are warm/hot by the end. You are right; we see few shorts and sandals, mostly worn by foreigners. In fact, Mark wanted to buy more shorts but we have found none. He also wanted to buy better sneakers but hasn't found a big enough size yet.

  3. Love the Pictures!! It must have Mark climbing the walls not to be able to strike up a conversation with everyone he meets on the way.

  4. Hi, Mark & Cheryl---miss you guys!!! Thanks so much for the newsy, descriptive posts. Also love the pictures; helps us imagine your path about the time we are all eating supper here in SC. Will try to call soon. I haven't yet called as I always think you are either on the subway or trying to get out the door or trying to get some sleep:)
    Love, Kathryn
