Wednesday Walk: A tour of the school's surroundings [ENG/ESP]
Greetings to everyone in the Wednesday Walk community! Today I'm joining you to share my Wednesday walk. I had work this afternoon, but the good thing is that I was able to leave a little early and took advantage of the time to explore the area. Join me on this walk.
¡Saludos a todos en la comunidad de Wednesday Walk! El día de hoy me uno por aquí para compartir con ustedes mi caminata del día miércoles. Hoy tenía trabajo en la tarde, pero lo bueno es que había podido salir un poco más temprano y aproveché para recorrer la zona. Acompáñame en este recorrido.
Today was quite a strange day because in the morning it was very sunny, very hot, and there wasn't a cloud in the sky. So, feeling confident, I went to work when suddenly it started to rain quite heavily. I had to stop in the middle of the road and wait for the rain to let up. Fortunately, I always carry an umbrella with me, so I'm never caught without supplies. The bad thing was that I had my materials for that day's class and I hoped they wouldn't get wet. When I got to school, it had already stopped raining, so it was a little annoying to realize I had gotten wet for nothing. Classes with the children went on as normal, and we were able to make progress on a pending assignment.
Hoy fue un día bastante extraño porque en la mañana hubo un gran sol, mucho calor y ninguna nube por allí en la ciudad. Así que confiada me fue a trabajar cuando de repente comenzó a llover bastante fuerte. Tuve que detenerme en el medio del camino y esperar a que bajara la lluvia. Afortunadamente, yo siempre traigo una sombrilla conmigo así que nunca quedo desprovista de recursos. Lo malo es que llevaba mis materiales para la clase de ese día y esperaba que no se mojaran. Cuando llegue al colegio ya había parado de llover, así que fue un poco molesto darme cuenta que me había mojado en vano. Las clases con los niños transcurrieron normal y pudimos avanzar en una tarea pendiente.
To be honest, I felt I needed to take some time for myself and my partner, so after class I decided to explore the area: no rush, no rain, and at my own pace. This place is an area called Villa Africana, the plaza you see there is called Gandhi, and we have several things around us, like CIMOS (the school), the parish church, a small street market, and many more schools, like Loefling. For some reason, there are so many schools just in this area I mentioned. So I think parents won't have any trouble finding a place to enroll their children. I've always enjoyed walking around here because it's quite peaceful; there are hills, but not as steep as in Villa Colombia or the Alta Vista area. You can always see the sunset here, and you can enjoy being outdoors. As a treat after this relaxing walk, my partner and I shared a large chicha (a fermented corn beverage). There's nothing like having something sweet after a long day.
Siendo sincera, sentía que necesitaba tomar un tiempo para mí y mi pareja, así que luego de la clase decidí recorrer la zona: sin apuros, sin lluvia y a mi ritmo. Este lugar es una zona llamada Villa Africana, la plaza que ven allí se llama Gandhi y tenemos varias cosas a nuestros alrededor, cómo el CIMOS (el colegio), la parroquia, un pequeño mercado ambulante y muchos más colegios, cómo el Loefling. Por alguna razón, solo en esa zona que comenté,hay muchos colegios. Así que creo que los papás no tendrán problema en realizar dónde podrían inscribir a sus niños. A mí siempre me ha gustado caminar por aquí porque es bastante tranquilo, hay colinas pero no tan pronunciadas cómo en Villa Colombia o la zona de Alta Vista. Aquí además siempre se puede ver el atardecer y uno puede disfrutar de estar al aire libre. Cómo un regalo para esta caminata de dispersión, tomamos una chicha grande, entre mi pareja y yo. No hay nada cómo tomar algo dulce después de un largo día.

It's really important that from time to time,, you give time for yourself and your loved ones.. even a simple walk and breathing fresh air can do a lot to our mind, body and soul.. 😊
keep it up, my friend.. 💚
Greetings 🤗 That's right, sometimes we certainly need to give ourselves a little break. Otherwise, things pile up and we miss out on the beautiful moments of everyday life.
How much greenery and how many low buildings there are around you in your walk. It looks so peaceful. And honestly, leaving work a bit earlier to enjoy moments like this is such a gift. By the way, why is the square named Gandhi? Is it related to something that happened there or is it just in his honour?
Greetings 🤗 Thank you for your kind comment. As far as I know, the square is only named in his honor.
good name choice though!
