Our Neighborhood

We want to share with you the neighborhood in which we live. It is starting to feel like home.


We have never seen anyone in these phone booths. So why two? This is just to the right of our bus stop. The little store behind it is a second hand store. We found some good winter clothing for a good price here. The owner speaks a little English and we have a friend.

Waiting for the bus. Sister Gill is always by Sister Wells but someone had to take the picture. We have learned the bus system pretty well and can even almost understand the names of the stops now.


This is where we buy a ticket. It is 44 euro for all the rides you need in a month. This is our transportation. There are some electric trams in the downtown area but we do the bus most of the time.


The street we live on.


Looking down the street we live on. Your eyes are okay...it is a little blurry, sorry.


The Penny Markt where we buy groceries. We carry our bags with us to bring the food home. Needless to say we do not buy very much at a time.


Inside the Penny Markt.


Here comes the bus.


There goes the bus.


One of the main streets in our area. See the bus stop in the distance? If you look closely you can see a very small round about.


This is a little variety store where we have purchased several little items. She is another friend.


Taxi anyone?


One of the houses here. This street is tree lined and is very beautiful. We must be in an upscale neighborhood.


There are many different types of trees. Here are a few.

A typical produce market. The bigger markets have produce too.


The little round about.


This is a sample of the many stones we walk on daily. The sidewalks are not too level either. Our feet feel bruised after waling very much.


Waiting for sister Gill to cross the street.

I like the photos of your town and apartment. Other than the signs in German, it does not look so foreign.
