A friendly word

After a week of having everything- menus, signs, directions, television, web pages- in Spanish, this sign was a welcome respite. I found it earlier this week when I did a walking tour of our barrio (read: neighborhood, not ghetto). I set out late in the afternoon to explore some of the lesser traveled, narrow back streets around the residence with my camera. I have lately become enthralled by the search for cool textures, contrasting colors, natural patterns and lines, so this walk was quite an adventure for me. Here are some examples of the textures that I found.









I'll be posting some more from my little excursion tomorrow. Right now I have to get ready because Ashley and I are going to the Ballet Nacional de España tonight. Check it out- fourth row seats!



Alongside my ballet ticket are my passport, metro ticket and RENFE ticket (for the train). Tomorrow I'll be spending the day in Salamanca.

I'm out for now!
