the streets where we live

We took the girls for a walk today and I took some pics of our neighborhood in the city.

The big green thing below is a glass recycle bin and the white sign post next to it is for the library bus (think book mobile) that stops in a few places around the neighborhood so the kids don't have to go all the way to the big library.

The mail carriers here only deliver mail.  If you want to mail something you have to take it to the post office or put it in one of these yellow mail boxes.  

Even the fire hydrants are different 

apartments and buildings are everywhere

below is our neighborhood flower shop.  Every neighborhood has a flower shop, a bakery, a butcher, a post office, etc...

the girls love looking at all the different doors!  There are so many cool colors and great old door knobs!

One of my favorite buildings in the neighborhood is this corner one with those cute rounded balconies

In some of the larger French cities (like ours) you can rent bikes at stations like this one.  You can pick up the bike at one station and return it at another so it's very convenient and not very expensive.  

This is just down the street from the school.  It's a sight we see everyday!

We're definitely not in Lehi anymore!
