Querido diario :

¡Tengo mucho que contarte! mi fin de semana fue genial, resulta que decidí ir a los dos eventos que tenía pautado para el día 28 de octubre tal como lo tenía planeado a pesar de las dudas, incertidumbres y contratiempos, pero todo siempre se puede con la gracia de Dios y el ángel de la guarda que siempre me acompaña…

A mis casi 50 años (bueno, ¡Faltan 4 años para eso pero el tiempo pasa volando!) todavía mantengo la idea de siempre tener un diario, agenda o un pequeño cuaderno, para anotar y dibujar lo que se me ocurra porque la musa se aparece cuando menos lo esperas, entonces siempre debo estar preparada con lápiz y papel, por eso, hago mis propios diarios personalizados, a veces me da pena sacarlos y que la gente lo vea ¡Pero que importa el que dirán!

![English Version]
Dear diary, I have a lot to tell you! My weekend was great, it turns out that I decided to go to the two events that I had scheduled for October 28th just as I had planned despite the doubts, uncertainties, and setbacks, but everything is always possible with the grace of God and the guardian angel that always accompanies me...

At almost 50 years old (well, that's 4 years away but time flies!) I still maintain the idea of always having a diary, agenda, or a small notebook, to write down and draw whatever comes to mind because the muse appears when you least expect it, so I must always be prepared with a pencil and paper, that's why I make my own personalized diaries, sometimes I'm embarrassed to take them out and have people see it, but what does it matter what they will say!

Bueno bueno, vamos al punto, resulta que tenía dos eventos pautados en la ciudad de Caracas, uno era en la Universidad Católica Andrés Bello ubicado llegando a Antímano y el otro en el Parque Nacional Waraira Repano, para los dos eventos debía confirmar participación para garantizar mi entrada, uno era exclusivo en todo lo relacionado al mundo cripto y el otro en mi área profesional turismo.

![English Version]
Well well, let's get to the point, it turns out that I had two events scheduled in the city of Caracas, one was at the Andres Bello Catholic University located at Antímano, and the other in the Waraira Repano National Park, for both events, I had to confirm participation to guarantee my entry, one was exclusive in everything related to the crypto world and the other in my professional area tourism.

Así que el sábado bien tempranito me levanté, me arreglé y vestí de un rojo avasallante y boca de igual color, mi cabello azulado con canas impecables y brillantes y con un bolso a juego lleno de ilusión porque llevaba un par de detalles para regalar a varios amigos hivers, llegué como a las diez am por las colas de tráfico que conseguí pero llegué, me tomé foto con varios, abracé a muchos, compartí tanto! y el lugar… ¡Una belleza!

![English Version]
So very early on Saturday I got up, got ready, and dressed in a stunning red with a mouth of the same color, my blue hair with impeccable and shiny gray hair, and a matching bag full of excitement because I had a couple of details to do. Give to several people. Friends from Hivers, I arrived around ten in the morning because of the traffic queues I had, but when I arrived, I took a photo with several, I hugged many, I shared a lot! And the place… a beauty!

Cuando era aproximadamente las 2:30 pm o 3:00 pm no recuerdo bien, me fui, me despedí de algunos y aunque tenía dudas de asistir al segundo evento por lo tarde que era pensando en lo tarde que llegaría a mi casa, por las lluvias inmensas que caen en la ciudad capital que sin de temer un poco me arriesgué y fui! llegué! otra vez agarrar varias camionetas de pasajero para llegar al destino deseado, con lluvia pero llegué, me colocaron mi brazalete para registrarme a las 5:00, yo estaba feliz!

![English Version]
When it was approximately 2:30 pm or 3:00 pm I do not remember well, I left, I said goodbye to some people, and although I had doubts about attending the second event because of the late hour thinking about how late I would arrive home, because of the huge rains that fall in the capital city that without fearing a little I took the risk and went! I arrived! again grabbing several passenger vans to reach the desired destination, with rain but I arrived, they put my bracelet to register at 5:00, and I was happy!

A pesar de que tenía mi confirmación y facilidad para entrar gratis al teleférico como también tenía acceso gratis a otras cosas tuve prácticamente una hora en cola para poder entrar y montarme en el funicular, la duración 20 minutos para subir y apreciar que todavía a estas fechas casi decembrinas puedes apreciar los árboles de araguaney, flores de hortensias bellísimas y un frío cada vez mas denso, cuando llega diciembre los venezolanos sabes bien que decimos ¡A llegado Pacheco!

![English Version]
Even though I had my confirmation and access to the cable car for free, as well as free access to other things, I had practically an hour in line to be able to enter and ride the funicular, the duration was 20 minutes to get on and appreciate that even at this time Almost December you can appreciate the Araguaney trees, beautiful hydrangea flowers, and an increasingly dense cold. When December arrives, Venezuelans know well that we say a saying: Pacheco has arrived!

Al llegar a la cima del Waraira vi la cantidad de personas que disfrutaban de ése espectáculo natural, de la pista de patinaje, de las delicias gastronómicas, unas fresas con crema, mesas preciosas con un buen vino, estaban full guías turísticos que te daban la bienvenida, una de ellas era una buena amiga de años atrás, ¡trabajamos juntas en el Ministerio de Turismo ¡Y ahora nos volvimos a encontrar!

Ella y otras colegas geniales me conseguí en el camino a la gran vitrina turística donde había exposición de los mejores prestadores de servicio turístico del país, alojamiento, posadas, los mejores planes todo incluido, pero no pude retratar con ninguno de ellos porque la batería de mi teléfono se agotó justo cuando tomé la foto de las hortensias, ahora me queda es el recuerdo de lo vivido y lo escrito aquí en mi querido diario.

7:00 de la noche y yo aún en las instalaciones tomando un divino café bombón aunque parecía mas un expreso, imagino que lo hicieron así por el frio, otra hora y media de cola para poder tomar el funicular de regreso, justo esa noche había eclipse de luna y todos los visitantes que estábamos en el Hotel Humboldt estábamos irradiando energía y agradeciendo todo lo bello y bonito de la vida.

¿Sabes a que hora llegué a casa? a las once y media de la noche, casi tipo Cenicienta, otra vez de nuevo tomar camioneta hasta el centro de la ciudad, no quise tomar el metro y caminé por la ciudad de Caracas desde la estación del metro de Bellas Artes hasta la Hoyada ¿Estoy loca? si, re loca, pero te cuento que me encontré con una ciudad limpia, nadita de malandros y mas bien conseguí rápido transporte de regreso a mi hogar en los Valles del Tuy.

![English Version]
She and other great colleagues got me on the way to the large tourist showcase where there was an exhibition of the best tourist service providers in the country, accommodation, inns, and the best all-inclusive plans, but I could not photograph with any of them because the battery of My phone died just when I took the photo of the hydrangeas, now I am left with the memory of what I experienced and what I wrote here in my beloved diary.

7:00 at night and I was still in the facilities drinking a divine chocolate coffee although it seemed more like a strong espresso coffee, I imagine they did it that way because of the cold, another hour and a half in line to be able to take the funicular back, just that That night there was a lunar eclipse and all of us visitors who were at the Humboldt Hotel were radiating energy and being grateful for everything beautiful and beautiful in life.

Do you know what time I got home? At half past eleven at night, almost Cinderella-like, I took a van to the center of the city again, I didn't want to take the subway and I walked through the city of Caracas from the Bellas Artes subway station to La Hoyada. I'm crazy? Yes, I'm crazy, but I'll tell you that I found a clean city, no thugs, and I actually got quick transportation back to my home in the Valles del Tuy.

Tired but happy, I got up early on Sunday because there was a lot to do, mainly telling stories about what I had experienced with the family with a good morning coffee, life goes on, with its setbacks, but life is only one and we must leave a legacy, a memory and if it is written better, thank you dear diary for always being there for me.

Cansada pero feliz, me levanté mi domingo bien temprano porque había mucho que hacer, principalmente echar los cuentos de lo vivido con la familia con un buen café mañanero, la vida sigue, con sus contratiempos, pero la vida es una sola y debemos dejar un legado, un recuerdo y si es escrito mejor, gracias querido diario por estar siempre para mi.
