Street Sweepers

Yesterday morning it was raining as we headed out to our team meeting. The rain was no deterrent for the street sweepers who are out early every morning to sweep the streets. One of them had a large black garbage bag tied around his shoulders to ward off the rain. It is interesting here that the home owner sweeps all the stuff of his sidewalk into the street. It gives someone a job! Then every day the sweeper comes along and cleans up the edge of the street. He uses a big wide broom and has a cart with the garbage bag attached. The man on our street is very friendly. That is a far cry than what we do in the States using big trucks to come along the streets to clean. People generally pick up their own leaves and bag them along with other trash.
