All the sidewalks in San Miguel are narrow and often share the space with telephone poles and other necessities of modern life.  Often one has to walk in the road because there simply isn't room for a person to pass on either side of the pole.  And when the street is hilly there is all kinds of non standard stone work for driveways and steps.  Up the block from our house, is one of the most unique accomodations I have seen.
