The bike ride in which I hugged 2024, to say goodbye to it beautifully

nanixxx (73)in Wednesday Walk • 4 days ago (edited)

There were many interesting things on this walk. And I, I know, sometimes I seem like a child playing with everything. It reminds me of an Instagram reel I saw recently and it made my day. It featured a very small boy carrying a dog on a rope and he accidentally fell into a puddle of water. It wasn't deep. You have to see how something clicked (I guess) in his mind, a little spark of innocence, creativity and enjoyment, and he very gently placed his dog's leash on the ground... 😄 carefully as if it were made of glass... hahaha... that's when I started to smile. Then he went back a few steps, while the dog was waiting for him very quietly but with some strangeness in its eyes, and started to go into the puddle as if it was the first time, with almost the same carelessness, and came out of it... and did it all over again. I think the kid did it about 4 or 5 times before he grabbed his dog's leash again and kept walking.

_{Havana. Playa Municipality.}

Look at me here waiting for my friend yesterday and playing to push the bike through this narrow place.

-I'm here, I told when I phoned him to see where he was. I'll wait for you... and I started playing like a little girl while he arrived.

When after a few minutes he appeared, we rode like two arrows down 60th Street in Playa. Nah, I was braking all the time to be careful not to fall into potholes and hurt ‘la potranca’ (the filly). That's the name I gave to this bike. 😂

I was so happy because I was carrying a BTC coin in my backpack. Hey 🤣... it's one of those fantasy ones. I wish I had one of those cold wallets with a whole BTC inside. Ok. The coin. I've always wanted to have one and at the last HiveCubaCon as I didn't get to it in time, someone lovingly told me I'd get one as a gift. And you see, it couldn't have come at a better time.

So we went to my friend's friend's house because he wanted to help her with something. We had a nice cup of coffee there... but before we got there a few blocks away I discovered this. Slow down, I told him. Hit the brakes. I hadn't seen this before and I've passed this way several times.

It turns out that there is a very striking house there which is the local museum and it is not in very good technical condition. Apparently it is going to be repaired soon according to the caretaker. But what I saw caught my attention.

Do you see it there?

She was so white, so pretty... and the truth is that it made me want to put a nightdress on her! 🤣

🙂

Yeah, I'm going to stop joking. Look at the tiles on the floor.

When we arrived at my friend's friend's house I saw identical tiles there. Now I understand why I was so attracted to them that I even photographed them... nothing is by chance.

Look at the door. I also liked it a lot.

We bid farewell to the feline muse. Maybe she turns into a cat at night. I came up with a few stories there.

Look... you see these are the same tiles? Here we see @luisdrian checking this microwave.

And I was taking pictures of the tiles because I loved the colour and the lions. 😃

We left there and went to the coast. I'm going to share with you the complete route via Strava links. I split it into two parts. It doesn't matter how many kilometres I cycled yesterday but how much fun my friend and I had on the coast. He even brought coffee. We had a beer and toasted with it. Of course, there was no shortage of videos because this was something we had to record. And I owe those to luisdrian. He also brought music and the songs made me laugh and he laughed at me because I sang them and knew them by heart... those weepy songs! It's from your time, he used to say. And more laughter. 😁

I took the opportunity to make some video calls. I showed my sister the sea and our bicycles lying on an umbrella. And she laughed too and said: but you have everything there. That's good! And yes, we really had everything. Yes!, we were keeping each other company, laughing, chatting, joking and everything in front of the sea. Life can be so beautiful in just the smallest details...

I love your walks, and I think with my 51 I'm more of a kid than a kid...the things you come up with I enjoy as if it were me being there.
The statue looks beautiful, I fear that one day someone might take it away...Mmmm .....as for the floor tiles, maybe they are houses from the same era and those were used....
Loved seeing you by the sea @nanixxx enjoying that delicious salty air.
