Stairway to Spanish

Ann and I walked everywhere, even to Spanish class each morning. During the half hour walk, we had the chance to see and hear the village of San Miguel wake up. A favorite memory is of the milk trucks honking their horns and abuelas and ninos would come out of their houses, carrying metal pails or sauce pans to scoop up the day's milk.

Near the Instituto de Allende, Ann and I would turn off on a side street, and then onto Enero, and walk another three cobble-stoned blocks uphill to our Spanish class. As if the walk there weren't enough, once arrived, we climbed this spiral staircase to our classroom.
