Hay salidas que sin planificarlas resultan bastante geniales, y justamente esto sucedi贸 el d铆a de ayer cuando a 煤ltima hora toc贸 salir con Mat铆as al cine ya que se reunir铆a con unos amigos y como ir铆a Arturo, mejor amigo de Mat铆as e hijo de mi amiga Claudi, pues r谩pidamente se arm贸 el plan. Los chicos entrar铆an al cine y nosotras aprovechar铆amos de conversar y recorrer el centro comercial, que en este caso fue el C.C. Parque Costa Azul.
There are outings that turn out to be pretty great even without planning, and that's exactly what happened yesterday when, at the last minute, Mat铆as had to go to the movies with some friends, and since Arturo, Mat铆as' best friend and my friend Claudi's son, was going too, the plan was quickly made. The boys would go to the movies, and we would take advantage of the time to chat and walk around the mall, which in this case was the Parque Costa Azul Mall.
Como ya es costumbre me ir铆a con Claudimar, as铆 que nos reunimos en el punto de encuentro de siempre (Farmatodo), y de ah铆 seguimos al centro comercial donde ya estaban algunos de sus compa帽eros esperando, apenas llegamos se compraron las entradas, y no dio tiempo de fotos, ya que estaban sobre la hora y justo cuando Claudimar y yo est谩bamos lista para nuestra tarde de chicas, el pap谩 de uno de los compa帽eros de los ni帽os nos invit贸 a un caf茅 y esto se prolong贸 hasta que termin贸 la peli, y con nuestros planes frustrados toc贸 un plan B.
As铆 que una vez nos despedimos de los dem谩s pap谩s, buscamos un lugar donde cenar, pero la verdad nada de lo que hab铆a disponible en la feria nos gust贸 y decidimos ir a La Asunci贸n por unas pizzas en un lugar que nos encanta y que tiene por nombre La Guachafita, que como ya les he contado est谩 ubicado en la plaza de La Asunci贸n y ofrece una variedad de platillos, pero nosotros 铆bamos por las pizzas y por algunas fotitos navide帽as con los chicos ya que la plaza est谩 realmente linda.
As usual, I was going with Claudimar, so we met at our usual meeting point (Farmatodo), and from there we went to the mall where some of her friends were already waiting. As soon as we arrived, they bought their tickets, and there was no time for photos, as they were running late and just when Claudimar and I were ready for our girls' afternoon, the father of one of the children's classmates invited us for coffee, which lasted until the movie ended. With our plans thwarted, it was time for plan B.
So, once we said goodbye to the other parents, we looked for a place to have dinner, but we didn't like anything that was available at the fair, so we decided to go to La Asunci贸n for some pizza at a place we love called La Guachafita, which, as I've already told you, is located in La Asunci贸n square and offers a variety of dishes, but we went for the pizza and to take some Christmas photos with the kids, as the square is really pretty.
Camino a la salida tratamos de tomar algunas fotos a los chicos en una casita de jengibre s煤per linda que estaba en el centro comercial, y digo "tratamos" porque ya ven el resultado, ellos caminando sin querer posar para las fotos 馃ぃ
En fin, que sin insistir mucho porque ya est谩n grandes, salimos del centro comercial para darnos cuenta que estaba lloviendo s煤per fuerte, pero a煤n as铆 seguimos con el plan, las ganas de comer pizza eran grandes, as铆 que nos subimos al carro con rumbo a La Asunci贸n, aunque un poco preocupadas porque los que vivimos en la isla sabemos que con solo minutos de lluvia las calles colapsan.
On the way out, we tried to take some photos of the kids in a super cute gingerbread house in the mall, and I say "tried" because, as you can see from the results, they were walking around and didn't want to pose for photos 馃ぃ
Anyway, without insisting too much because they're already grown up, we left the mall only to realize that it was raining really hard, but we stuck to the plan anyway. We really wanted pizza, so we got in the car and headed to La Asunci贸n, although we were a little worried because those of us who live on the island know that it only takes a few minutes of rain for the streets to flood.
Llegamos a la plaza y la lluvia hab铆a bajado su intensidad, as铆 que nos estacionamos y caminamos directo al local, tomamos asiento y pedimos nuestras pizzas solo para que nos dijeran que ya no ten铆an m谩s, as铆 que algunos pedimos hamburguesas (Mat铆as, Arturo y yo), Claudi pidi贸 un shawarma y C茅sar el hijo menor de Clau un perro caliente Jumbo. Todo muy rico la verdad, pero lamentablemente no pudimos tomar casi fotos porque la lluvia regres贸 con fuerza y aunque est谩bamos en una mesita con sombrilla, la brisa nos estaba ba帽ando 馃ぃ
Comimos y de inmediato nos subimos al carro rumbo a nuestras casitas, y aunque la noche no fue lo que planeamos, contra todo pron贸stico decidimos pasarla bien y as铆 fue, a pesar de la lluvia y de no comer lo que ten铆amos pensando nos re铆mos un mont贸n con todos los incidentes de la noche, y disfrutamos de nuestro encuentro inesperado y un poco atropellado 馃ぃ
We arrived at the square and the rain had eased off, so we parked and walked straight to the restaurant, sat down, and ordered our pizzas, only to be told that they were sold out. So some of us ordered hamburgers (Mat铆as, Arturo, and I), Claudi ordered a shawarma, and C茅sar, Clau's youngest son, ordered a jumbo hot dog. Everything was really delicious, but unfortunately we couldn't take many photos because the rain came back with a vengeance and even though we were at a table with an umbrella, the breeze was soaking us 馃ぃ
We ate and immediately got in the car to head back to our houses, and although the night didn't go as planned, against all odds we decided to have a good time, and that's what we did. Despite the rain and not eating what we had planned, we laughed a lot about all the incidents of the night and enjoyed our unexpected and somewhat rushed get-together 馃ぃ
