Lisa what a marvelous O and M. instructor!
I need to get an O and M. instructor out here because there is a street we walk 
down which is horse shoe in shape and I know how to walk one way with the 
traffic coming toward me on the right and there is a curb on my left but if I 
ever wanted to go the other way on that street I can't figure out how to do it.
Our village is so fabulous. It was one of the nation's first planned towns and 
is patterned after a village in England with all architecture being tudor style.
Anyway like so many of the small English villages, the lanes wind in and out of 
eachother and you may start on one lane and think you are walking straight and 
find yourself on another lane.
This is why I have both the Trekker and the Bn Gps so I can take the trekker 
and virtually walk these streets as if we were actually on them.
It is nice because because of the makeup of these streets the only traffic for 
the most part is the folks who live on the streets so it is not at all odd to 
see grownups, kids and dogs walking down the middle of the streets with no car 
within a country mile.And we have walked through many a soccer and kick ball 
game and have watched many a game of Kick the Kan.
I have even come across one little dog who loves to sleep right at the curb and 
Peggy and I have spoiled quite a few of his siestas.
Speaking of ye ol pooch, park time!
