Saturday Morning Walk

With it being Saturday, I went to a different Starbucks that's a little closer to my hotel. Grandpa and his little one do not go to Starbucks on the weekend. After coffee, I went for a walk. First I headed west on Yan'an lu, then a left on Dingxi Lu and two more lefts on Fahuazhen Lu and Huashan Lu. The streets are not nearly as crazy as they are during the week, making the walk more relaxing. I love this city, it is a great walking city. It has that magic that I have only found so far in New York and Paris. It is steeped in the colors and sounds and architecture of a very old city. It has history everywhere you look as buildings seem to be gluded together and stacked on top of older pieces and hammered into yet even older pieces. It has the grimy, real, magic dissonance of humanity.
