the complete city experience

A barren pedestrian path between heavy traffic and industrial buildings.
Architect-designed villas with outdoor jacuzzis.
A gem of a beach.
Woods with birds and squirrels.
A seashore with the sound of waves and the smell of seaweed.
Quaint backstreets with the laughter of children.
A busy inner-city market.
A McDonald's.
A construction site.
A racing track with horses being exercised.
A motorway.
Suburban apartment blocks.
A plant nursery with greenhouses.

One walk, all these things I passed. All within the city borders.

Ironically, I was humming, "Take me away from the city and lead me to where I can be on my own..."
