Departure: Around 8:00AM
Arrival : Around 9:00AM
Distance: 2.6Km
Type: Walk.
Gear: My white cotton short sleave shirt (Fresh), my blue shorts(fresh), my sandals, key set, cellphone, wallet.
Not much. Same walk as usual. Three surfers on Larco walking. A girl with blonde hair and suncream on her face. 2 dudes. One blonde with a sort of Mohawk, both of his arms where heavilly tattooed with blue green ink. A taller short brown haired guy with a round tattoo on his his back.
I arrived in front of the Majestic. I saw a "Bigoudi" on the floor. Made me smile. It´s a sign. Crossed the street. The surfers headed to the Mirador and see the waves.
I walked along the Malecon as the surfers catched up and passed me. This man saluted me. I saw this woman I saw a couple of times walking her dog. I stopped at the parque Champagnat on a bench. That place is the meeting spot of local dogs..as manny parks. I sat there for a time. A dude saluted me. I´ve seen him before. He mumbled something to me and saluted me. I think I know what he said to me. Another few people passed in front of me as I was sitting on the bench.
There was that same man at the same place...as usual. Then I went under stepped up and came out the other way. On the top a friendly dog was looking at me with emotion shaking his tail as I came close to him. I said "hola" and he jumped on me putting his two dirty paws on my clean shorts. Dogs do that. I tapped his head kindly, said a word to its owner.
I came along the Club Terrazas. At the corner of 28 de Julio I crossed this woman I often see around. I was walking behind her on 28 till she went her way towards Larco. (I know where she was heading.)
Then, I understood why I did not go straight yesterday. There are two options. It´s either taking the short path and crossing out of the crosswalk or going up the street to take the crosswalk. It´s a hard choice. On one hand we have:
1- Shortening the distance by 50m, saving precious energy.
2- Sticking to the law by walking on the crosswalks.
As I am a bit undisciplined I decided the first option because I thought there where no cars. (The rule is that you can cross if you look around well and there are no cars within a good distance) I looked around but forgot to look on 28 de Julio and a car was actually coming. No biggie but...you know: I Gotta look in all possible directions if I´m going to become an outlaw.
That´s all.
