Daily life


This is the trash container that stays by the door.
  Today is trash day (weekly) and paper recycling (monthly).  The bins stay by the door and the trash collector takes the full bag and replaces it with an empty one.  If you need more bags it seems that you can get them, but I am not sure if there is an additional fee.
The collected trash bags are put by the curb and eventually get picked up.  The recycling containers are closer to the driveway, which we share with three other homes.   You might be able to see that the cyclist is on the bike path, which is between the sidewalk and the street.

In the neighborhood glass is collected in these containers, which seem as common as post boxes.


In other excitement, we all have bicycles now.  I hope it won't be too hard to part with them next summer.
Just as we had been told, the flag and pictures of the flag are every where.  I couldn't resist buying these, but maybe I'll save them for when we return.

  1. This is the first time since 1993 that we haven't been composting. We met some people about four blocks away who compost, but I don't think it would work out to share with them. Shhh, maybe we'll do some guerilla composting.
