Greetings friends I tell you that on Saturday, I took the day to pay a visit to one of my best friends, Rolando Morales, who is going to live in Qatar for a while. So I went to his house in the Playa Municipality. To get to that municipality I have to take the bus route P10. I left around 12 pm of the day, it took me almost an hour to get there, it was a day of little transportation, so the bus was full, almost without oxygen and sweating a lot because of the heat of the summer. It was really a challenge to endure that trip.
I arrived at the stop where I would stay at the League Against Blindness. From there I walked 1 km to my friend's house who lives on 41 between 56th and 58th street, it is a building, in which his apartment is on the fourth floor. I took the opportunity to exercise my legs while climbing the stairs, ha ha ha.
Already at the entrance of the apartment, the view of the city of Havana welcomes you leaving you with no comments. It is a beautiful view that clears any tired mind. I was greeted by my friend's grandparents, he had not yet arrived home, I shared some time with them while waiting for him. After a while my friend arrived with some purchases to prepare some hors d'oeuvres, along with a few pounds of Serrano ham that I brought. We prepared the appetizers and uncorked a bottle of Bacardi Rum and juice to start the farewell meeting. In the living room were his grandparents, his aunts and uncles, his girlfriend, him and me.
We were reminiscing about college memories between laughs and jokes, one of them was our climb to Pico Turquino, which was a feat for us, the highest point in Cuba, we climbed it up and down in 8 hours, after a month of preparation.
Have you had experiences of mountain trekking?
What do you think of this activity?
Going back to the farewell, we spent about 5 hours very much to our liking. Then, around 80 pm he took me home on his electric motorcycle and we said goodbye again, at that moment he gave me as a souvenir a phone, accompanied by headphones, I was surprised, but I thanked him wishing good trip to my soul friend. Thus ended my Saturday with a good experience of friendship.
Sunday
Sunday I woke up early around 7:00 am, I had the task of visiting other friends to give them a haircut. I prepared my breakfast and went out with a cup of coffee to the doorway of my apartment, to see the sunrise, in front of the house in a field that is at the entrance under a framboyant tree, I was surprised to see a band of birds pecking pebbles, among them were pigeons, turtledoves and sparrows, it was amazing. I couldn't resist and took a picture.
I finished breakfast and got ready to leave, after Saturday's experience, with the transportation I decided to walk to my destination, so I would combine my walk with cardio exercises. The route I had to do was 10.80 km. I was excited about the challenge, so I put the Actifit mobile app to use. On the way there I had my phone in my hand so as not to miss taking pictures of the curiosities that caught my attention, I photographed different birds along the way, I took pictures of some flowers that I loved. I found some wonderful constructions that I captured in photos.
Always applying a constant breathing and accelerated pace I arrived at my destination, finding my friend cleaning his doorway, I greeted him and proceeded to perform the barber activity. He was satisfied with his haircut, a smile gave me that feeling. When I finished I took a bath, he prepared me a snack to return to my house.
On the way back I walked through places, where I found several churches that had beautiful architecture, I discovered a work of nature that surprised me, a tree that was embedded in a wall, it looked like a work of art. On the way I found a park where I sat down to take a breath, this place gave a sense of peace, it was full of trees, the view filled you with joy, it transmitted peace to me. I noticed that there were children playing in the surroundings. In one of the trees I noticed the presence of thrushes, for its characteristic song, they looked amazing, I was about 20 minutes. I went back up Juan delgado street, I came across bees pollinating flowers, it was great to try to take pictures of them, they were not standing still. I saw a Güira tree, I haven't seen one for a long time, the fruits of this tree are used to make the Maracas, a traditional musical instrument of Cuba.
Further on I came across a flower store that I fell in love with. There were really beautiful flowers, which I did not miss the opportunity to photograph. I arrived home super exhausted. I checked my second mobile app called S Health. I was surprised to discover that I had walked 139 minutes and taken 16171 steps. What a great workout I had this Sunday. One of the most important experiences on Sunday was participating for the first time in the Powered-up with 10 hive.
Weekend experiences are wonderful, we are surprised by unpredictable events, more than a few days of walking.
Thank you for reading.
