Today tried valiantly to be summer again and the sun popped out for a short while. We were fortunately able to take advantage and did our walk then. We decided to go back along the San Borja Norte route. The j sound in Borja is the same as the ch in loch by the way.
Anyway the A-k-a-day Facebook page was asking for some video today of people on their activities. We were unable to provide anything novel but we did manage to provide a video so here it is.
I have been looking at the properties in this area most of which are about 7 or 8 storeys high but occasionally there is a double story property. It turns out that they all used to be double storey and that when the come up for sale they are now purchased by someone who immediately tears down the nice villa that stood in the space and erects an apartment block. Slowly but surely the villas are disappearing in favour of the tower block.
You can also see one of the pieces of public exercise equipment that are dotted all around the parks. I think this one is a hip flexer, reducer thing. We never gave it a go. Most of it has been roped off for months but they are slowly opening up again.
Here are some more "low rise" that are probably already on someone's hit list.
OK we have the dentist tonight. Arghhh I hate the dentist, well actually I hate going to the dentist, well actually it is just the bit in the chair I don't like. The dentist is in fact a very nice lady and best of all she speaks good English so we can communicate easily. Only problem is that it is on the other side of town during busy time. Out in the car. Wish us luck. I might even try to upload some dash cam footage to let you see what it is like. It is not for the faint hearted. I think I almost prefer going to the dentist than driving. Oh no what am I saying I am driving to the dentist. Nightmare.
See you all tomorrow, with a bit of luck. Here is the strava
