Our Little Street

The streets are narrow and winding. We live in a street with lots of pet shops. And fresh fish markets (mmm!).

Most of the streets seem to be one-way, with the little cement mushrooms, or in other places n-shaped poles, protecting the pavement from the cars.

So here we are looking down the street, and just on our right, next to the "Siesta" place

is a tiny alley to the main door of our apartment.

Yep, down there in the gloom under the trees just past the drain pipe.

Once you go in, there is a winding stair-case - seems to be the norm around here - and we are on the first floor.

You might notice the railing/bannister where Peter is resting his hand is pretty much vertical at that point ... wouldn't want to be sliding down the bannister in this place!

The Baker

There are lots and lots of wonderful little shops along these narrow streets. Right next to us, next to the hairdresser's and opposite the pet shop, is one of many little baker's shops.

Gotta love it.
