On the other hand, we would have to buy a car if we moved to the suburbffe
would also have to buy a lawnmower and a snowblower or hire someone^care for
the lawn and driveway. In terms of space, we could definitely have a bigger house
and much more land if we lived in the suburbs. However, we wonder if it would
be worth it, since we would lose so many conveniences. Stores would be farther

away, and so would friends, neighbors, movie theaters, museums, and restaurants.
The+sscbiggest inconvenience would be that we would both have to commute
to work every day instead of walking or taking the bus. Th.?chools are probably
better in the suburbs, but for our child, who isn't even bom yet, school is several
years away. In looking at our priorities, it becomes clear that we should continue
to live in the city for now and then reevaluate our decision as the baby gets

closer to school age.

first published in 196? in Argentina and ftansrated intolrglish in
19?0. Briefly, its the story of the fictional town of Macondo as seen
through the eyes of many generarions of the Buendfa family. I leamed
about the changes that the town goes through as it gro*u".rd the years
roll byqs also read about the universal themes of birth, death, love,
war, wealth, poverty, honor^and comrption as we spend time with this
