The fog had swallowed the colors of the landscape, it moved forward and forward without remorse, since the first lights of the sky were turned on. It knew that I intended to take a wednesday walk (in my neighborhood 馃ぃ) and wanted to spoil it for me, that I would end up in the #MONOMAD Challenge, or in Q Inspired, as it has been becoming usual on Wednesdays. So I talked to her (with the fog) "a lo cortico" (closely) and told her to at least give me back the blue.
My goal was exploratory, to see if there was gas at the Liquefied Gas Point (LPG). Since it was relatively early and not so hot, I could also stretch my legs a bit. Sometimes I feel like this place doesn't have much to say to me; however, for that idea to fade, I just have to look at the sky, and there was that color I love so much.
I sighed in relief.
This is very similar to hiking. Just mentally suppress the car.
The streets of my neighborhood are perfect, their connection with nature is enviable. Have you seen asphalt? No, right?
With the coolness of the morning, airy thoughts also come to me, like that inside the cages it is also possible to bloom and that my English is not good. However, I dreamed in English, and it was very fluent, as if it was my native language.
I looked around me and there was the detail that would come to round out my thought.
And one more.
When I moved here in 2009, they were already building the house or (I don't know what it is) that you will see below. Some people told me that it would be a place of Christian worship and mentioned the word reverend. Others said that along with the constructive actions of the supposed reverend, others were going to be carried out, such as the asphalting of these paths for hiking, and something related to water and its drainage.
The truth is that the construction has advanced. It is quite large as you can see and my neighborhood has no better streets. None of this I am saying has any solid basis, it is just talk that I, truth be told, have not bothered to elucidate.
The bucolic aspect of my neighborhood honestly delights me. I just walk a little further forward, and I look back in that direction and see what happens:
I reached the end of the street, I mean, the path for trekking. If you feel lost just back up to the picture of the wine red car. I turned right and a few steps ahead I am met with a surprise.

The neighborhood bodega is painted and they've even put an awning on it! The LPG is right there, next to the blue trash containers.
Everything in order, there is gas! Happiness took me a little further than I had planned. That's why I can show here the cafeteria of my neighbor Edgar, where they sell bread with pork meat (pan con lech贸n), and it is in good demand because from this street the cars coming from the highway enter the 100th street.
If you look at the photo of the bodega, it is one of the neighbors who was there who is now in the cafeteria. No. She doesn't have the gift of ubiquity, she just came to talk to me and said: Anita, what are you doing, taking pictures? And I answered: yes, leaving a record for posterity.
We laughed and another man joined the conversation, who spiced up the subject by adding that yes, I had better do it because we didn't die of heat last night by miracle. We were without electricity, from 10 PM until this morning, due to a severe thunderstorm.
I decided to keep walking to 100 Avenue and walk around the block. I saw her crossing the street to buy something, I guess, and took the picture.
Shortly after the pan con lech贸n is this sign.
I have to tell you that the fog was not happy with the turn things took. Anyway she wanted her spotlight and to make me angry.

It's not that the photo was bad, don't even think about it. It's the fog that came again to take away the colors of the scene. I begged.
By the way, those people in that... Pontiac? are in the mattress repair business. They carry in the trailer some things they need for that.
Thank you, Hallelujah. The colors are back and that cyclist is looking at me strangely because I'm jumping up and down with happiness.
It seems that the mattress repairmen arranged for me to see them on this short stretch of my walk. My mattress is like Fakir's. Is the Universe trying to tell me something? But I don't want to repair, I want a new mattress.
On the other hand, all the mattress repairers' cars are green... enough, enough... let's drop this topic.
{I have how to demonstrate it but the fog photo and another one I have not shown would be in evidence} 馃槀 Maybe at the end... or in the comments, if you ask me.
Another attempt by her (the fog) to annoy me. The photo has no editing.
Yes, I know you like this picture. So do I. It's the most interesting one I took during the walk. But what I want to tell you is that in that direction the sun was already bothering a lot, every time I tried to take a picture, I encountered this problem of the light from the front and it wasn't a nice light. The sky was losing all its blue.
{Shall we call my friend, the fog?} The camera's exposure button stopped working some time ago. Nothing can be done here.
馃榿
And by the way, this cafeteria (de pan con lech贸n) still can't rival Edgar's.
You may already recognize this part of the walk if you saw my post about Alejandro. I have already left 100th Street and turned right, because I am about to return home.
But... but... but...
I decided to go a little further. Towards the train lines.
This friend says to go home, and points the way. Sorry, doggy friend, I'm a stubborn girl.
To see the scenery below, I only have to walk two blocks from here.
I kept thinking that I never go near these train lines, as much as I love them.
I know you would like to see a video I made, but it won't be possible this time. The lightning came back, the electric power went out again. It's not really the fog that wants to sabotage my #WednesdayWalk post.
About what is out there in the distance, where you can see the smoke, I'll tell you one of these days.

On my way home, I saw this car parked in front of Edgar's house and started playing with my camera and the Mercedes-Benz logo.
