Happy Sunday, everyone! Those who know me know that Sundays are a special day for me. Once again, I embarked on an adventure in the heights: El 脕vila, the beautiful and imposing mountain north of Caracas. The day was perfect: cool weather, a dreamy blue sky, and the company of my girlfriend and my best friend, a combination that rarely happens, but when it does, it evokes the most sublime feelings in me. It was the original route, the San Bernardino trail, but our goal was to take my wife to the famous Cruz del 脕vila, so we started early...
隆Feliz Domingo para todos!. Quienes me conocen saben que los Domingos son un d铆a especial para m铆. Nuevamente me sum茅 a una aventura en las alturas; El 脕vila, la hermosa e imponente monta帽a al norte de Caracas. El d铆a fue perfecto, un clima fresco, un cielo azul de ensue帽o y la compa帽铆a de mi chica y mi mejor amigo, una combinaci贸n que ocurre pocas veces, pero cuando pasa me provoca los sentimientos m谩s sublimes. Fue la ruta original, el sendero de San Bernardino, pero ten铆amos como meta llevar a mi esposa hasta famosa Cruz del 脕vila, as铆 que comenzamos desde temprano...
The cross is located approximately 3,200 meters away, and I would even say that it is more than halfway to the top of this area, where the cable car is located. We set off with plenty of water and some snacks to share, but we promised we would do so once we reached our destination. I really like it when we support each other. My friend has supported me on this journey of discovering the mountain trails, and I have passed this on to my wife. We do it for our health, both physical and mental.
La cruz se encuentra aproximadamente a 3200 metros de caminata, de hecho me atrevo a decir que es m谩s de la mitad del camino hasta la cima de esta zona, que es donde se encuentra el telef茅rico. Nos fuimos con mucha agua y algunos refrigerios para compartir, pero prometimos que lo har铆amos al llegar a nuestro destino. Me gusta mucho cuando nos apoyamos entre nosotros mismos, mi amigo me ha apoyado a m铆 en este camino de conocer los senderos de la monta帽a, y yo se lo he transmitido a mi esposa, lo hacemos por salud, tanto f铆sica como mental.
It took us a while because it was my wife's first time climbing the cross, but it was good that my friend came with us. Besides being a trainer, he is a great motivator to keep going until we reach our goal. When we reached the top, we took lots of photos, just in case it's something that won't happen again anytime soon 馃槄 We shared and even climbed a little higher, filled our thermoses with mountain water, drank coffee and juice, and descended feeling very energetic. Overall, it was a sublime day, full of love and friendship. In fact, my friend Douglas is about to start at Hive. You'll hear about him in the next few days, and I hope you'll support him as much as you've supported me... Have a great start to the week! 馃檹
Tardamos un poco por ser la primera vez de mi esposa respecto a la cruz, pero es bueno que mi amigo haya ido con nosotros, adem谩s de ser entrenador es una gran motivaci贸n para continuar hasta la meta. Cuando estuvimos arriba le tomamos muchas fotos, por si acaso es un hecho que no vuelva a ocurrir pronto 馃槄 compartimos e incluso subimos un poquito m谩s, llenamos nuestros termos con agua de la monta帽a, tomamos caf茅 y jugo, bajamos muy en茅rgicos y en general sigue siendo un d铆a sublime, lleno de amor y amistad. De hecho mi amigo Douglas est谩 por iniciarse en Hive, sabr谩n de 茅l en los siguientes d铆as y espero que le apoyen tanto como a m铆... 隆Feliz inicio de semana! 馃檹
