NYR #30: Pisar Km. 0

So, when I was first examining this list, I figured that there was one thing I definitely didn't want to do. I even told my intercambio (very adamantly, I might add), that there was no way I would "pisar km. 0". She was very confused.

"Really?" she said, "It's right in Sol (the center), and a lot of people take pictures near it. It's actually kind of a big deal because that's where all the radial highways in Spain begin...Why don't you want to step on it?

Wait, what? Step on it??? I was thinking pisar was a cognate! Stepping on a stone plaque landmark is so much better than the alternative.

At this point, my intercambio was thinking I was crazy. I was thinking it was just par for the course.
