  Speaker 2: you've you've walked around with your kids, no less like
• 1:26
  Speaker 2: you guys walk through Italy in the summer.
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: Correct.
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that was brave but.
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: So gorgeous and from what I remember, we did a
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: lot of walking. Yeah, and you had to walk wild
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: to get to the next whatever, mind you.
• 1:43
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know if they're basing it on. You
• 1:45
  Speaker 2: know how certain cities have areas that are closed off
• 1:48
  Speaker 2: to traffic, and it's a lot of time it's the
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: European cities because of the way they were built. Okay, right,
• 1:54
  Speaker 2: so maybe they mean it that way. They never explained
• 1:58
  Speaker 2: what the lay of the land like, the terrain like,
• 2:00
  Speaker 2: if you're not going uphill downhill, uphill downhill, maybe it's walkable.
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: Again, you and I are guessing because they really never
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: clarify about what makes it a walkable city. But anyway,
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: Rome is number one. You know you know what city
• 2:11
  Speaker 1: in America looks walkable but it's not Las Vegas.
• 2:14
  Speaker 2: Oh oh yeah, you think you're close to something.
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: You're in your hotel, you go go to that hotel
• 2:20
  Speaker 1: over there. No, but it takes like thirty minutes.
• 2:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, that right, it's so far away, and I know
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: it has the reputation and it's true. Do not try
• 2:28
  Speaker 2: to walk in la oh forget. Don't even try, because
• 2:32
  Speaker 2: when I first started going, I did that. I thought
• 2:34
  Speaker 2: I'm from New York. I can handle okay, no even
• 2:37
  Speaker 2: cross the street here.
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: What how about your how about your thoughts on New Orleans?
• 2:40
  Speaker 1: I know you've been there multiple times. You just went
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: there last week. I mean to me, that's fairly.
• 2:44
  Speaker 2: Walkable, that's really walk Why would that not be on
• 2:47
  Speaker 2: the top ten. And we took the little street car,
• 2:50
  Speaker 2: the Saint Charles street car, which is like one of
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: the I think the oldest in the country. So if
• 2:55
  Speaker 2: you can't walk, you can go on that. And it's
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: like ding ding ding ding. You would love it. Right
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: up front by the driver like that's letting you know,
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: and then she has to like hit the brake and
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: switch tracks and it's like kunk like every time.
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: So can you isolate these sounds? And we're playing back
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: at a later date, I can't wait?
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: So well, My point is that that was only a
• 3:18
  Speaker 2: dollar twenty five, right, we were in the Garden District.
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: You could take that little trolley car and then you're
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: back at the French Quarter and you can walk and
• 3:24
  Speaker 2: walk and walk. So it is spread out in a
• 3:27
  Speaker 2: way New Orleans. But then there's areas that are highly walkable. Right.
• 3:32
