Just Visiting, part 12

Mike took photos of all parts of the house and brought them home for the kids to see. For them, the big selling point was that pool. “We’re going to have our own pool!” they shouted over the phone to their friends. “You’ve gotta come and visit! We can go swimming in our own back yard!” They took the pictures to school and became the envy of all their classmates when they showed them the little blue rectangle. It made everything okay for them.

The house was in a neighborhood of similar houses near a polideportivo (sports complex). Buses stopped at the corner, and there was a train station nearby in Aravaca.

Pozuelo itself had two main sections: Pozuelo Pueblo, the original village, and Pozuelo Estación, near another train station. Our house was considered to be part of Estación. There was a little village within walking distance that had restaurants, a grocery store, bakeries, and hardware and stationery stores. It looked like it could be home.
