Unfortunately, it is not an option for us to run errands on foot here. You have to take a car to get somewhere to walk.

You're from Europe. That tells me it was a major shocker to find it was not possible for you to walk or bike either. Unlike Europe, you worship bikes and roads are well planned to accomodate that and walking as well, for you, your kids and pets too! Let alone ramps for people with special needs.

Sorry dear, but you will sure get used to it. I compensate by taking the stairs ,when I can, and a daily walk on the Cornich. Weather is fabulous now compared to boiling humid summer.

You know, every place has the good and the bad. It’s enough to know that it’s a very safe country for a girl to walk by herself. Just be serious enough to shy away fools here and there.
