Salida random para la plaza / Random departure for the square

Como trabajo en un local comercial, durante todo diciembre se doblan las responsabilidades y obviamente el cansancio, pero aunque sea el último día de la semana y todo el agotamiento se ha ido acumulando, aprovechamos para ir un rato a la plaza al caer la tarde.

Realmente el plan era salir a algún centro comercial para ver las decoraciones navideñas, pero había anuncio de lluvia para la tarde, y no quise exponerme a ir tan lejos de casa, así que nos fuimos a la plaza que nos queda más cercana a caminar un rato.

Como siempre nos quedábamos del lado del parque y la zona para ejercitarse, no nos habíamos percatado de la existencia de un espacio para los amantes del patinaje y las piruetas sobre ruedas. Es una zona bastante amplia con rampas de todo tamaño dispuestas a lo largo, de manera que muchos puedan disfrutar de este espacio sin entorpecer el performance de los demás.

Por fuera, un enorme mural con una figura emblemática para los de la generación que va por los 30 años (aunque su emisión continua todavía) de Carlitos, el de la serie Rugrats, equipado como un patinetero con toda la indumentaria de seguridad que se sugiere utilizar en esta modalidad, y el nombre del parque, para que pueda ser identificado sin problemas.

Habían algunos chicos con patinetas, otros en patines y algunos con bicicletas inclusive, y aunque no logré captarlos en fotografías, se nota que aprovechan estos espacios para recrearse de manera segura, pues dominaban las subidas y bajadas del espacio.

Luego de verlos un rato, aproveché y me senté a ver los alrededores, mientras mi hijo jugaba un rato en el parque, disfrutando de la tranquilidad del lugar que por fortuna no estaba muy concurrido (gracias al diagnóstico del tiempo) y despejando mi mente de mucha basura mental que se va acumulando en la semana, pues todavía no logro dominar del todo el dejar de preocuparme por los asuntos pendientes cuando no logro resolverlos en los tiempos que deseo hacerlo.

Unas nubes grises nos sacaron del disfrute, y volvimos rápido a casa, aunque terminó siendo falsa alarma, pero ya la salida había cumplido su cometido. Para mañana dejamos la salida al centro comercial.

Since I work in a store, my responsibilities double throughout December, and obviously so does my fatigue, but even though it's the last day of the week and I'm exhausted, we take the opportunity to go to the plaza for a while in the late afternoon.

The plan was actually to go to a shopping mall to see the Christmas decorations, but rain was forecast for the afternoon, and I didn't want to venture so far from home, so we went to the nearest square for a walk.

As we always stayed on the side of the park and the exercise area, we hadn't noticed the existence of a space for lovers of skating and pirouettes on wheels. It's a fairly large area with ramps of all sizes arranged throughout, so that many can enjoy this space without hindering the performance of others.

Outside, there is a huge mural with an iconic figure for those in their 30s (although it is still being broadcast) from the Rugrats series, Carlitos, dressed as a skateboarder with all the safety gear recommended for this sport, and the name of the park, so that it can be easily identified.

There were some kids with skateboards, others on roller skates, and some even on bicycles, and although I was unable to capture them in photographs, it is clear that they take advantage of these spaces to play safely, as they mastered the ups and downs of the space.

After watching them for a while, I took the opportunity to sit down and look around, while my son played for a while in the park, enjoying the tranquility of the place, which fortunately was not very crowded (thanks to the weather forecast), and clearing my mind of a lot of mental garbage that accumulates during the week, as I still haven't quite mastered the art of letting go of worries about pending issues when I can't resolve them in the time I want to.

Some gray clouds interrupted our enjoyment, and we quickly returned home, although it turned out to be a false alarm, but the outing had already served its purpose. We left the trip to the mall for tomorrow.
