A Tale of Two Walkways

This is part of the route I take to get from the parking lot to my building each day. At first I took the way on the right, which is directly behind the student center and goes past dumpsters and vents belching out the smells of cafeteria food.

I don't know why I always went that way - I guess I thought it was the most straightforward.

A couple of weeks ago I ventured onto the left hand path instead. Amazingly, it's a serene little sidewalk among trees and grass and just as fast as the other way.

So trying something new = now I start my morning a little more smiley. :)
