Today I want to share with you one of the trips I took with my family last Sunday, this time we went to a very nice place, and believe it or not, it is a city hall. The city hall of Sorocaba (or preitura as they call it here) is located about 30 km from here, we went by bus, my wife, my stepson and my son. We left here early, at about 7:30 in order to catch the bus on time, it took an hour to arrive, being in Sorocaba we took an UBER to the mayor's office.

Hoy quiero compartir con ustedes uno de los paseos que di con mi familia el pasado domingo, esta vez fuimos a un lugar muy bonito, y aunque no lo crean, es una alcaldía. La alcaldía de Sorocaba (o preitura como le dicen aquí) se encuentra a unos 30 km de aquí, fuimos en autobús, mi esposa, mi hijastro y mi hijo. Salimos de aquí temprano, a unas 7:30 para poder coger el bus a tiempo, este tardo una hora para llegar, estando en Sorocaba agarramos un UBER hasta la alcaldía.

We arrived at the place and immediately memories came back to me, it looked like my old school, with a big parking lot, a lagoon with a bridge, a big building that you could see in the previous photo. Arriving there we took the first pictures, the first one was where it says ¨I love Sorocaba¨.

Llegamos al lugar y en seguida me llegaron recuerdos, se parecía a mi antigua casa de estudios, con un gran estacionamiento, una laguna con puente, un gran edificio que ya ustedes pudieron ver en la foto anterior. Llegando nos tomamos las primeras fotos, la primera fue donde dice ¨Yo amo Sorocaba¨

Then we walked to the bathrooms for Attila to put on more comfortable clothes so we could play in the park, when we got to the place, we saw a group of motorcyclists with high cylinder motorcycles and I took the opportunity to take a picture. >

Después caminamos hasta los baños para que Attila se colocara una ropa más cómoda y así poder jugar en el parque, al llegar al lugar, vimos un grupo de motorizados con motos de alto cilindraje y aproveche para tomarme una foto.

Then we went to take some pictures in a place full of palms and beautiful bushes, there we rested for a while since from the entrance to there it was a long way. We took the opportunity to fill our canteens and plan our hike.

Después fuimos a tomarnos unas fotos en un lugar lleno de palmas y arbustos muy bonitos, ahí descansamos un rato ya que desde la entrada hasta ahí fue largo el trayecto. Aprovechamos en llenar las cantimploras y planificamos la caminata.

Then we went into a wooded area where there were many bamboo bushes, Attilla did not like much of this walk hahaha he was too angry to go to jump in the park and buy some chips. But we convinced him and everything went well.

Luego nos internamos en una zona boscosa donde había muchos arbustos de bambú, Attilla no gusto mucho de ese paseo jajaj estaba muy enfuriado para ir a saltar en el parque y comprar unas papas fritas. Pero lo convencimos y todo salió bien.

We arrived at the park and set up our rooms hehe, a sheet that we brought from home was enough to accommodate us under a tree, we took some snacks to nibble while the "crianças" (as they say here) played.

Llegamos al parque y armamos nuestros aposentos jeje, una sábana que llevamos de casa nos bastó para acomodarnos debajo en un árbol, llevamos algunas chucherías para picar mientras las “crianças” (como dicen aquí) jugaban.

Luan, our youngest son, was very excited, he played with sand, walked a long way and tried to talk xD. As for Attila, he had a lot of fun, he used all the equipment in the park, he was red in the sun. He needed to go out, it was many months without leaving the house to protect us from the pandemic.

>

Luan, nuestro hijo menor, se emocionó mucho, jugo con arena, camino un buen trecho y de la emoción intentaba hablar xD. Por su parte Attila no le faltó diversión, utilizo todos los aparatos del parque, quedó coloradito con el sol. Le hacía falta salir, fueron muchos meses sin salir de casa para cuidarnos de la pandemia.

My wife and I took some pictures on the shore of the lagoon, the day was sunny but it was quite breezy, it was a perfect day and we were on our day off. I really hadn't had as much fun as I did that day for a long time.

>

Mi esposa yo nos tomarnos unas fotos en la orilla de la laguna, el día estaba soleado pero estaba haciendo bastante brisa, era un día perfecto y estábamos en nuestro día de descanso. De verdad, tenía mucho tiempo que no me divertía mucho como lo hice ese día.

It was time to go, as we were without a car, we had to leave early so the bus wouldn't leave us. We had to go to bathe the baby because he got all full of sand hehe and wait for Attila to get the flip-flops that he lost in the park.

>

Llego la hora de irnos, como estábamos sin carro, teníamos que irnos temprano para que no nos dejara el bus. Tuvimos que ir a bañar al bebe porque se llenó todo de arena jeje y esperar a que Attila consiguiese las hawaianas que se le perdieron en el parque.

I like places like that, there was a moment when I started to sing, it was a day to get rid of stress and share with my family. To know more of that city that reminds me of my country, it has a resemblance to Valencia and where I live it looks like my town Tinaquillo.

Me gustan los lugares como esos, hubo un momento que me puse a cantar, fue un día para quitarme el estrés y compartir con mi familia. Conocer más de esa ciudad que me recuerda a mi País, tiene un parecido a Valencia y donde vivo me parece a mi pueblo Tinaquillo.
