Hello, good morning to all my beautiful people of Mundo Hispano. I think we all agree with the theme that winter has already entered and the days of walks have become more tedious, even the morning walks have been affected by the rainy dawns. The good part is that the weather is pleasant and a freshly brewed coffee or a hot chocolate comes at the best time of the day.

In the midst of these daily rains, on Father's Day Sunday, I made an appointment in my hometown, El Tigre, for a run/walk, and thanks to the creator, it didn't rain that day, at least not in the morning. So the sporting event went wonderfully, and with a cool and pleasant sunrise.

I reiterate the detail that I live in Guanipa and I am from El Tigre, but both cities are joined by an intercommunal avenue full of housing developments, shopping malls and companies, in which not even those of us who were born here know exactly where one ends and the other begins, the physical debate continues. I only know that I was born in one, and live in the other, and that according to the geographical space, I am located right where Guanipa ends and El Tigre begins, hahahahahahaha, so geographically I have no idea exactly where I am, that's why I always mention both.

But when it comes to weekend morning walks, long and pleasant strolls, with lots of nature bordering us, immense trees that cover part of the avenue with their branches and become a vegetable roof that protects us from the sun or rain, the most ideal place is Peñalver Avenue in El Tigre. This geographical space, which was one of the first to be created in the history of El Tigre, was gradually transformed over the years and became one of the longest and most beautiful avenues in the city.

I was born, lived and grew up on this avenue, literally. The family house is located at the beginning of this avenue and almost covers an entire block.There are three houses in that block; two of my family and the neighbors'. On this avenue is also the only hospital in the city, and that is where I was born.My mother tells me that the day she felt labor pains she was alone in the house and she grabbed her briefcase and crossed the avenue to the hospital that was almost in front of our house, she left a note on the table and when everyone arrived, mom was already giving birth, hahahaha. In these pictures I show you my old family house where we all lived and grew up, and the next house was built later, so they are two family houses in the same yard where we spent all our childhood and youth. Already deteriorated with time and the absence of many.

In my adolescence and youth, I would leave the house in the mornings with some friends and we would go jogging along this long avenue from beginning to end, there and back, but on the morning walk back, we would stop to talk with our friends, many of whom lived on the same road. I captured some of their houses as a souvenir of the places where the beautiful 80's took place.

In this road space are also my first high school, where they only taught basic education, and my second high school, where they only taught the diversified cycle.The Juan Pablo Rojas Paul and Briceño Méndez high schools, educational icons of the city of El Tigre, where many of us young people of the 1980s were educated, because at that time there was only a private coeducational school and the nuns' school for girls.

If there is one place where I loved to live and grow up, it is on this avenue.Too many beautiful memories, and as I walked along during the sporting event, I enjoyed the ride, and captured photos.

I hope you liked this walk, thank you all for visiting my blog... happy day.
