A new path always brings adventure, exploration, and a new world to discover, whether it's in a large park, a plaza, or a very small place. There will always be something new to explore.
I love exploring new places. It gives me that feeling of a new adventure, a new place, and the desire to know what will be there. I still have a long way to go. I always look at the city map and discover new green spaces, some further away than others, but it always gives me the urge to find out what they are like, to explore them, and to gain new experiences.
On the paths, I find curves where I can't see what's beyond, and that invites me to follow the paths to find out what there is to discover. Now I walk calmly, even when I'm alone. I've done many solo hikes, especially in places where no one else goes, and yet I feel very safe. Many people have asked me if I'm afraid in places where the trees create a dark atmosphere, and I tell them that now I'm not afraid. I am always cautious, but not afraid.
I often stray from the marked or pre-established path because I like to investigate, climb hills, explore, and see what I find. Along the way, there are always new and beautiful things, whether they are natural formations or man-made natural spaces, as is the case with this beautiful park.
There was practically no shade, but I didn't care. My desire to find out what was there was stronger, and besides, when I went for my walk, there was no heat wave or anything like that, so walking was a pleasure.
In the distance, I could see a formation of palm trees, and the path led me right to them.
When I arrived, I realized that it was an uphill path with no end in sight, so I ventured to see what was on the other side, as if that path were a door to another world.
As I climbed, I could see another park in the distance, with a beautiful lagoon, a pyramid, and a very colorful children's play area.
There was also another play area, but this one was themed and had more earthy colors, with large wooden structures.
The path up high was beautiful, a white sand path surrounded by palm trees and some bushes. There was also other vegetation, some low pine trees, and plants with beautiful flowers.
It seemed like a path that was not often traveled, that no one visited, as if people preferred the lower trails, so I felt like the only explorer in the place. In addition, it offered me views of another park or another area that made me want to stay and admire them for a long time, sit somewhere and, in the midst of solitude and the breeze, look at those landscapes.
The descent was also beautiful. The path became narrower, but the postcard views before my eyes were stunning.
As I descended, the view was of a vast and enormous place with some trees in the distance, but they were no longer palm trees. I was impressed by the size of the park, or at least that part of it, because it seemed endless.
Some parts were specially prepared for walks, and they had planted some trees, although they did not have very large crowns or provide much shade. I suppose they will grow in the future.
It is great to see large green areas. I imagined that in winter they would be ideal for sunbathing and picnics.
The paths continued, some full of curves, and again I did not know where they would lead me. I love that anticipation.
Between groups of plants, I sometimes peeked out to see new landscapes.
The path led me to an area where there were skate parks, where young people and children can play, but also develop their skills with their boards. There were a few people there, but I always try to respect people's privacy. Many people don't like having their picture taken... like me.
Further along my path, I came to an area marked on the map as Calisthenics Park. It was a special place for exercising, with various pieces of equipment and machines for that purpose.
But the most interesting thing was that there was a board explaining how to do exercises and what exercise to do with each of those machines. I thought that was great, because many people like me, who would do physical activity outdoors but don't know how to do it, would find it a good explanation. A very good idea for a good workout.
The sun accompanied me throughout this journey and adventure, always waiting to discover new horizons.
Thank you very much for joining me on this Wednesday walk. I send you my best regards. See you soon.
