ACROSS THE STREET
Grammar Point: Prepositions of Place

On weekends, I have breakfast right across from work. There are a couple of food stands that sell sandwiches and drinks in the street─for only S/. 1.00! I go to America’s, the stand which is on the left. It’s on Venezuela St., between Husares de Junin Ave. and Estados Unidos St.─in Trujillo. America, a very outgoing and hardworking woman, has many types of sandwiches and drinks. I love her tamal sandwiches! America always gives you some yapa, extra drink at no cost; so, you can have almost two glasses of the drink of your choice for S/. 1.00. Doctors, police officers, taxi drivers, teachers, students, and people who live in the area─including many friendly Venezuelans─have breakfast at America’s. I always look forward to those breakfasts.
