y yo además de una tía.
Hello friends, I tell you that today has been a great day, because as I have already told you, we are in Apure specifically on the border with Colombia, spending a few days with my family, and this morning we get up very early to go to Arauca (Colombia) to do some errands my sister
Salimos de casa temprano para que nos rindiera el tiempo, y cruzamos la frontera en canoa y en el perfil de mi hermana encontraran los detalles de eso, el sol estaba muy fuerte pero fue un dia divertido haciendo diligencias con mi tía con quien la pasamos bien.
We left home early so that time would surrender, and we crossed the border by canoe and in my sister's profile you will find the details of that, the sun was very strong but it was a fun day doing errands with my aunt with whom we had a good time .
Decidí tomar fotos para mostrarles un poco de mi paseo por las calles de Arauca donde nos demoramos bastante tiempo ya que eran muchas diligencias, pero para divertirnos un rato hacia fotos en casi todos los lugares para mostrarles un poco como está la situación aquí.
I decided to take photos to show you a little of my walk through the streets of Arauca where we took a long time since there were many errands, but to have fun for a while I took photos in almost all the places to show you a little how the situation is here.
Nos fuimos bien preparadas, con nuestros respectivos tapabocas y alcohol, aunque en realidad en casi todos los negocios abiertos habian lavamanos o antibacterial en la entrada y debias aplicarte eso para poder entrar y tambien bien desayunadas pues debiamos caminar bastante.
We left well prepared, with our respective masks and alcohol, although in fact in almost all the open businesses there was a sink or antibacterial at the entrance and you had to apply that to be able to enter and also well had breakfast because we had to walk a lot.
Los negocios estaban bien surtidos, y la gente muy atenta ofreciendo sus productos, habian muchas personas vendiendo café o jugos en las calles, y en la plaza también habia bastante gente, también estaban bien pintadas las calles.
The shops were well stocked, and the people were very attentive offering their products, there were many people selling coffee or juices in the streets, and in the square there were also quite a lot of people, the streets were also well painted.
Lo bueno de Arauca es que la gente respeta las señales de transito y espera la luz verde del semaforo para poder avanzar (cosa que muchas personas no respetan en mi país), y la mayoria de las personas andan en moto pues la gasolina es muy costosa. Luego de averiguar un par de cosas con mi tía decidimos ir al supermercado El Descuento para comprar algunas cosas en donde los precios estaban bastante asequibles incluso algunas estaban más baratas que en mi país.
The good thing about Arauca is that people respect the traffic signs and wait for the green light of the traffic light to move forward (something that many people do not respect in my country), and most of the people ride a motorcycle because gasoline is very expensive . After finding out a few things with my aunt, we decided to go to the El Discount supermarket to buy some things where the prices were quite affordable, some were even cheaper than in my country.
En el supermercado vimos unos atún marca Vikingo's y no pude dejar de pensar en el reto de la comunidad Makeup Power, después de ahí fuimos a comprar unas verduras y un refresco ya que teniamos mucha sed pues veniamos caminando en todo este trayecto y como les dije el sol estaba muy fuerte.
In the supermarket we saw some Vikingo's brand tuna and I couldn't stop thinking about the challenge of the Makeup Power community, after there we went to buy some vegetables and a soft drink since we were very thirsty because we had been walking all this way and as I told you the sun was very strong.
Después de terminar las compras, tomamos un taxi ya que no aguantabamos más, ya estabamos cansadas de tanto caminar, y les cuento que los taxis tenian un papel plástico en el medio pero el chofer muy atento y por supuesto sonriente pues no se negó a que yo tomara la foto hasta queria salir en ella.
After finishing the shopping, we took a taxi since we could not take it anymore, we were already tired of walking, and I tell you that the taxis had a plastic paper in the middle but the driver was very attentive and of course smiling because he did not refuse to I will take the photo until I wanted to be in it.
Nos bajamos del taxi y debiamos tomar otra canoa para regresar, y era increible ver hasta a mujeres ofreciendo ayudar a cargar mercancia a las personas que iban a cruzar, ya habia visto hombres, pero a mujeres no y que valentía y fuerza tienen.
We got out of the taxi and had to take another canoe to return, and it was incredible to see even women offering to help carry merchandise to the people who were going to cross, I had already seen men, but not women and what courage and strength they have.
Y bueno, eso fue todo el paseo de ahí nos bajamos de la canoa y regresamos a casa en moto, pues aquí en el pueblo la gente anda mucho en moto, pero es lo mejor pues es un pueblo pequeño y ya saben que la gasolina es escasa. Espero que les haya gustado nuestras andazas por Colombia, en otros post les seguiré contando más de este viaje.
And well, that was the whole ride from there we got off the canoe and returned home by motorcycle, because here in the town people ride a lot on motorcycles, but it is the best because it is a small town and you already know that gasoline is limited. I hope you liked our tours in Colombia, in other posts I will continue to tell you more about this trip.
