Saludos nuevamente. Estaba algo perdido de Hive, mis disculpas de antemano, acab茅 de retornar a mi hogar en M茅rida y estas 煤ltimas semanas estuvieron muy movidas, todo sali贸 bien gracias a Dios.
Hace poco, mencion茅 que estaba de viaje en la regi贸n capital, preparando algunas cosas para el retorno de mi hermana a M茅rida.
Mientras est谩bamos tan ocupados haciendo de todo a la vez, logramos crear espacios para la recreaci贸n y en esta nueva ocasi贸n, visitamos uno de los parques m谩s emblem谩ticos de la regi贸n, el Parque del Este o como actualmente se le llama Parque General铆simo Francisco de Miranda.
Positive memories of Caracas
Greetings again. I was a bit lost from Hive, my apologies in advance, i just returned to my home in Merida and these last weeks were very busy, everything went well thank God.
A little while ago, i mentioned that i was traveling in the capital region, preparing some things for my sister's return to Merida.
While we were so busy doing everything at once, we managed to create spaces for recreation and on this new occasion, we visited one of the most emblematic parks in the region, Parque del Este or as it is now called Parque General铆simo Francisco de Miranda.
Dentro del parque, ya se aprecian los distintos caminos a recorrer dentro del parque. A la izquierda se pueden ver unos puestos de refrigerios y de regalos. A la derecha hay un peque帽o anfiteatro y en el medio el camino entre 谩rboles que tomamos.
Inside the park, you can already see the different paths to follow inside the park. To the left you can see some refreshment and gift stands. To the right there is a small amphitheater and in the middle the path between trees that we took.
Mientras avanz谩bamos, m谩s caminos encontr谩bamos, nuestra soluci贸n fue irnos al lugar que m谩s nos llam贸 la atenci贸n, ya con esto entend铆amos que los otros caminos quedar铆an para visitar en otra ocasi贸n, porque el parque es muy grande. Decidimos, subir una peque帽a colina a mano derecha, fuera de los caminos de piedra para tratar de tener una vista de todo el parque.
As we advanced, we found more paths, our solution was to go to the place that caught our attention, and with this we understood that the other paths would be left to visit another time, because the park is very large. We decided to climb a small hill on the right hand side, off the stone paths to try to have a view of the entire park.
No se me ocurri贸 subirme en las piedras para tener una mejor foto jajaja, pero la vista me gust贸, porque detr谩s de esos tupidos 谩rboles aguardaban m谩s caminos por explorar. Desde aqu铆 pudimos apreciar que hab铆a una entrada para los veh铆culos, pero no nos ubicamos bien por donde ser铆a la entrada para el parque, tambi茅n vimos las canchas que tiene el parque.
It did not occur to me to climb on the rocks to get a better picture jajaj, but i liked the view, because behind those dense trees awaited more roads to explore. From here we could see that there was an entrance for vehicles, but we did not know where the entrance to the park would be, we also saw the playgrounds that the park has.
Vi que estaban jugando basquetbol, f煤tbol y ping pong y hab铆a mucha gente a la espera para jugar (llevando la pegada)
I saw that they were playing basketball, soccer and ping pong and there were a lot of people waiting to play (carrying the sticks).
Al otro lado de las canchas, esta zona me pareci贸 incre铆ble para jugar con un frisbee.
On the other side of the courts, i found this area amazing to play with a frisbee.
El parque es propicio para correr. Mientras lo recorr铆amos observ茅 los carriles, supongo uno es un carril de ida y el otro de vuelta porque no vi ning煤n tipo de restricci贸n o normativa mientras camin谩bamos. Lo cierto es que mi sobrino siempre llegaba primero a donde 铆bamos.
Mientras camin谩bamos mi hermana me contaba que siempre que pod铆a ven铆a a trotar con una amiga, me dec铆a por donde sol铆a meterse, cu谩les eran sus recorridos y las rutinas que sol铆an tener. Mientras me hablaba de esto, sub铆amos el Puente Independencia donde por casualidad unos Scouts estaban haciendo una parada. La pasarela un铆a El parque del Este con el parque de la Carlota o Parque Bol铆var, aqu铆 vi unas gradas instaladas, una avioneta donde venden helados, una fuente de sodas, un parque para los ni帽os y lo que m谩s disfruta las personas, una enorme laguna, tambi茅n vi que siguen creando cosas por ejemplo hay un proyecto de cancha de b茅isbol.
The park is conducive to running. As we walked through it i observed the lanes, i guess one is an outbound lane and the other is a return lane because i didn't see any kind of restriction or regulation as we walked. The truth is that my nephew always got to where we were going first.
While we were walking my sister was telling me that whenever she could she would come jogging with a friend, she would tell me where she used to go, what their routes were and the routines they used to have. While she was telling me about this, we were going up the Independence Bridge where by chance some Scouts were making a stop. The walkway linked the Parque del Este with the Parque de la Carlota or Parque Bolivar, here i saw some bleachers installed, a small plane where they sell ice cream, a soda fountain, a park for children and what people enjoy the most, a huge lagoon, i also saw that they are still creating things, for example there is a project for a baseball field.
No recorrimos mucho esta zona del parque, porque hab铆a mucho sol y no quer铆amos que el beb茅 se asoleara demasiado.
De regreso por el camino de la pasarela y recorriendo otro camino, vimos otra laguna donde se puede navegar con peque帽os barcos a pedal, hubo un lugar donde reposamos bajo los 谩rboles y aprovechamos de cambiar al beb茅 y un poco m谩s adelante nos encontramos con el barco Leander, en realidad una r茅plica del Leander el cual est谩 en labores de restauraci贸n.
We didn't walk much in this area of the park, because there was a lot of sun and we didn't want the baby to get too much sun.
On the way back along the walkway and along another path, we saw another lagoon where you can navigate with small pedal boats, there was a place where we rested under the trees and we took the opportunity to change the baby and a little further on we found the Leander boat, actually a replica of the Leander which is under restoration work.
Luego de esta zona nos encontramos con los animales, monos, el jaguar, caimanes, tortugas, hab铆a otros, pero no los pudimos ver por porque en el trayecto nos encontramos con una fuente de soda donde decidimos comer y volver a descansar un poco, ya de aqu铆 se nos empez贸 a hacer un poco tarde.
After this area we met the animals, monkeys, the jaguar, caimans, turtles, there were others, but we could not see them because on the way we found a soda fountain where we decided to eat and return to rest a little, and from here we started to get a little late.
Ya el momento de culminar el paseo se acercaba y quedamos maravillados por todo lo que ofrece el parque. En nuestro retorno, el panorama segu铆a siendo majestuoso. Recorriendo otro camino de regreso, nos encontramos con varios p谩jaros de muchas clases, b煤hos, guacamayas, 谩guilas, tucanes, claro no mostrar茅 todas las que vimos porque ya el post se va haciendo algo largo y tambi茅n quiero animarlos a visitar el parque, si les cuento todo no van a tener 谩nimo de venir.
The time to finish the tour was approaching and we were amazed by all that the park had to offer. On our way back, the panorama was still majestic. Walking another way back, we found several birds of many kinds, owls, macaws, eagles, toucans, of course i will not show all the ones we saw because the post is getting a little long and i also want to encourage you to visit the park, if I tell you everything you will not be in the mood to come.
Bueno con estas 煤ltimas fotos despido mi recorrido por el parque General铆simo Francisco de Miranda.
Es una gran experiencia poder disfrutar de este recorrido, se pueden desarrollar muchas actividades en 茅l. Por ejemplo, las compa帽eras y amigas de mi hermana pudieron hacerle su baby shower en un especie de stan dentro del parque, hablaron con las personas del parque y fueron muy atentas en reservarle el espacio y de poner a su disposici贸n un ba帽o. Mi hermana estaba muy agradecida con ellos porque me dec铆a que iba mucho al ba帽o cuando estaba embarazada. As铆 que lo imagino como un buen lugar para celebrar un cumplea帽os, una comida o simplemente un paseo con buena compa帽铆a.
Me qued茅 con las ganas de recorrer m谩s del parque y de jugar ping pong en una de esas tantas mesas que hab铆an. Tambi茅n me gustar铆a recorrer el parque en bicicleta. Tal vez en un futuro que est茅 de vuelta.
Espero que hayan disfrutado del mini paseo que les present茅 del parque, les extiendo una bienvenida para que lo disfruten en persona.
Hasta luego.
Well, with these last photos I say goodbye to my tour through the General铆simo Francisco de Miranda Park.
It is a great experience to enjoy this tour, you can develop many activities in it. For example, my sister's companions and friends were able to give her a baby shower in a kind of stan inside the park, they talked to the people of the park and were very attentive to reserve the space and make available a bathroom. My sister was very grateful to them because she told me that she went to the bathroom a lot when she was pregnant. So I imagine it as a good place to celebrate a birthday, a meal or just a walk with good company.
I was looking forward to exploring more of the park and playing ping pong on one of the many tables there. I would also like to ride my bike around the park. Maybe in the future when I'm back.
I hope you enjoyed the mini tour I introduced you to the park, I extend a welcome for you to enjoy it in person.
See you later.
