Walking The Streets

Every morning, except Sunday, I walk about eight blocks to the Gym.  What I see on this walk is pretty typical of the town where we are.  If you look up it is paradise with blue skies and palm trees.

 

There is a lot of construction going on everywhere building new condo.   When you look at the buildings that are completed, they are attractive and colorful.

 

There is even a garden along the way with sweet corn and ????

And that's where the problems begin--when you start to look down.  There is seemingly no concept here of littering.  People just throw anything and everything along the street.  There will never be a shortage of spare plastic and Styrofoam. 

 

 

In fact, our neighbors on the third floor had to replace their bathtub last week.  The workers chiseled it out by hand and just threw the tub and other debris along side of the street.  I am sure it will be there for a very long time. 

 

But, mixed in with all the trash, there are beautiful flowers growing wild almost everywhere.

I will leave that for next time.
