SWE 174  $1.7 million dollar public toilet in San Francisco

Part 2 of 6. 

Jack, a pocket-sized blue book with yellow text and white pages, climbed up the library steps, knocked on the modern glass doors and was let in by the security guard. It was an hour before the library opened to the public. 

“Mornin’ Jack,” said the security guard. “I’ve been dying to see you this morning. Could you whip me up a Frappuccino?” 

Jack’s life swirled around coffee. Not only was it his profession, it was his passion and life’s purpose. The library café had been in his family for six generations. Ever since Jack was capable of walking on his two feet, he was working at the café. In due time, Jack had mastered all aspects of coffee making, from grinding and roasting beans to excellent customer service, and everything in between. His father supervised him closely, making sure their state-of-the-art coffee machine was used properly. When Jack was ready, his mother showed him how to create artistic designs using the frothed milk. 

“You’ll have to wait a bit longer,” replied Jack. “I’ve got some extra housekeeping to do this morning. I’ll get it to you at opening time.” 

The island café was placed in the center of the public sitting area. It was surrounded by seven medium-sized tables. Today Jack had to prepare a new shipment of Columbian beans by grinding them and storing them away. After doing that, he mopped around the seating area and wiped the tables. Finally, Jack sliced some cheese for his most popular item, the cheese bread rolls. 

Jack switched on his beloved coffee machine and listened to it hum as it warmed up. With his hand on the steam wand, Jack caught his reflection in the pressure and temperature dials of the machine. Looking back at him was a newly-discovered shiny white hair.

У нас в Уральском регионе очень красивая природа. Здесь много лесов, гор, рек и озёр.
В 100 километрах от Екатеринбурга есть уникальный природный парк. Этот парк был создан в 1999 году. Его площадь 12000 гектаров.
Парк называется «Оленьи ручьи». Однажды здесь нашли наскальный рисунок оленя. Поэтому парк назвали «Оленьи ручьи».
Туристы очень любят этот парк. Это удивительное место! Можно весь день гулять по лесу, пересекать реку по мостам, подниматься на скалы, заходить в пещеры. 
Туристам предлагают 5 маршрутов по парку. Самый короткий маршрут – 4 километра, а самый длинный – 18 километров. 
Летом люди плавают по реке на каноэ и сапах. А зимой обычно приезжают сюда, чтобы сходить в русскую баню и сделать шашлыки на свежем воздухе. Если хотите, на территории парка можно остаться на ночь в небольших удобных домиках. 
Еще одно интересное место - пещера древнего человека. Археологи нашли здесь следы присутствия охотников времен мезолита, неолита, энеолита и бронзового века. 
Ангел Единой Надежды – скульптура, которая стоит на скале над рекой Сергой.
Её автор - талантливая художница из Швеции Лена Эдвалл. Такие скульптуры расположены по всему миру. Они дарят людям свет и надежду. Говорят, что если подержать Ангела за крылья, то он исполнит ваше желание.

La vita a Torino della signora Lucia


La signora Lucia vive nel centro di Torino nel quartiere del quadrilatero romano. Lavora da casa come traduttrice dal cinese all’italiano e ama molto cucinare. Proprio per questo motivo ogni giorno va al mercato di Porta Palazzo a fare la spesa. Lei ama passeggiare tra le bancarelle che vendono tanti prodotti alimentari differenti: adesso che è Gennaio lei compra della verdura di stagione come broccoli, cavolo nero, carciofi, finocchi, zucca, porri, rape e cavolfiori. Uno dei suoi piatti preferiti è un tortino di cavolfiore con uvetta, besciamella e noce moscata. Dopo aver fatto un giro nel reparto della frutta e verdura, la signora Lucia va nella zona del mercato coperto dove si trovano le pescherie e le macellerie. Dal pescivendolo compra delle cozze, delle vongole e qualche gamberetto, per preparare al marito Gilberto uno spaghetto allo scoglio. Poi in macelleria compra della carne macinata di vitello e di maiale, per preparare delle polpette di carne che ama tanto suo figlio Alberto. Alberto studia a Torino all’università del Politecnico, ma ogni domenica a pranzo preferisce tornare a casa dei suoi genitori per pranzare con tutta la famiglia. Lucia poi dal suo pizzicagnolo preferito, acquista della ricotta fresca di pecora, del parmigiano grattugiato, del pepe macinato e del pane grattato oltre a delle uova biologiche allevate a terra, ingredienti che andranno a essere la base di una torta salata di ricotta e spinaci che preparerà per sua figlia Maria. Maria è una studentessa del quinto anno di scuole superiori ed è vegetariana quindi la madre prepara per lei piatti buoni e senza carne.
