the trip to school

this was my walk to school my first couple weeks here - now the snow is almost completely melted
my house (the top floor) - my bedroom is the window hidden behind the tree branch
the town of Boudry where I catch the tram the lights of Boudry and the tram station walk from my house, across this field to those buildings, then down the hill to the right
me walking across that field
up to the left goes home, down to the right goes to the tram station cross the river castle on the riverbank
the tram stop in Boudry
Neuchatel - "my" tram in the foreground
Place Pury, Neuchatel - the public transportation hub where my tram arrives
walking to school from Place Pury - turn right after the reddish brown building on the right (which sells hot chesnuts in the afternoon, if you want any)
walk down here and turn left after passing H&M
walk to the end of this road and turn right at the fountain
cross the street here and turn left up the hill
walk up this hill to the intersection
turn right toward the gare (train station)
up this hill past the museum

You get quite the workout on the way to school. :) I love that H&M is a landmark. ;)

How long does it take for you to get to school? Seems like quite a long trip! Hope all is well! =)

About 10 minutes to the tram from the house, wait for the tram, 20 minutes on the tram, and another 10-15 minute walk from the tram to school. :-)
