[ENG/ESP]A Wednesday as seen through my lens.
Greetings, dear friends of this wonderful #wednesdaywalk community. As I do every week, I’m here again to share my journey with you—those little everyday adventures that, though simple, always leave us with a story to tell, or simply a moment to remember.
Our day began very early, almost at sunrise. The weather was wonderful, typical of this island: intense heat from the morning and a radiant sun that allowed us to appreciate the beauty of nature. That unique light makes the colors look more vivid, the sky look enchanting, and even the simplest things turn into a postcard. With my phone’s camera, I was able to capture some natural and urban landscapes that accompanied me along the way, and which I’m now sharing with you so you can also enjoy a little piece of this day.
Saludos, queridos amigos de esta bella comunidad de #wednesdaywalk. Como cada semana, aquí estoy nuevamente para compartirles mi recorrido, esas pequeñas aventuras cotidianas que, aunque sencillas, siempre dejan alguna anécdota, o simplemente un momento para recordar.
El día para nosotros comenzó bien temprano, casi al despuntar el sol. El clima estaba estupendo, muy propio de esta Isla; un calor intenso desde la mañana y un sol radiante que permitiéndonos apreciar lo hermoso de la naturaleza. Esa luz tan particular hace que los colores se vean más vivos, que el cielo se vea encantador, que hasta lo más simple se convierta en una postal. Con el lente de mi móvil pude capturar algunos paisajes naturales y urbanos que me acompañaron durante el recorrido, y que ahora comparto con ustedes para que también disfruten un pedacito de este día.
We left home early because we had to drop off the truck at the shop. It was due for an oil change and a thorough cleaning underneath—something necessary to keep it in good condition. Once we dropped it off, the work didn’t stop. We had to continue the trip on the motorcycle, which isn’t exactly my favorite mode of transportation, but when duty calls, there are no excuses.
Salimos temprano de casa porque debíamos dejar la camioneta en el taller. Le tocaba cambio de aceite y una buena limpieza por la parte de abajo, algo necesario para mantenerla en buen estado. Una vez la dejamos, el trabajo no se detuvo. Tocó continuar el recorrido en la moto, que no es precisamente mi medio de transporte favorito, pero cuando el deber llama no hay excusas que valgan.
Our first stop was at the Sunsol Unik hotel, where we carried out our standard cleaning and disinfection routine, just as planned. We checked the readings, and to our satisfaction, everything was perfect. When the results come back good, I feel a great sense of relief, and I know the hotel appreciates it too, because that translates into quality and safety for its guests. While we were taking care of that part of the job, Luis, on the other motorcycle, was at Sunsol Isla Caribe to move forward with everything scheduled for the day—that’s what teamwork is all about.
Nuestra primera parada fue en el hotel Sunsol Unik, donde realizamos nuestra rutina de coloración y desinfección, tal como está prevista. Medimos los valores y, para nuestra satisfacción, todo estaba perfecto. Cuando los parámetros salen bien siento una gran tranquilidad, y sé que el hotel también lo agradece, porque eso se traduce en calidad y seguridad para sus huéspedes. Mientras nosotros cumplíamos con esa parte del trabajo, Luis, en la otra moto, estaba en Sunsol Isla Caribe para poder avanzar con todo lo programado del día, eso es trabajar en equipo.
After finishing up at Unik, my husband and I headed to the city of Porlamar. We needed to find a replacement part for our car, which my husband is working hard to finish assembling. Finding the oil pump has turned out to be a bit of a challenge; in fact, this was the second day in a row we’d gone out looking for it. Fortunately, this time we were given two leads on parts stores that might have it, so we headed there with renewed hope.
Al terminar en Unik mi esposo y yo, nos dirigimos hacia la ciudad de Porlamar. Teníamos que conseguir un repuesto para nuestro carro, que mi esposo está terminando de armar con mucha dedicación. Encontrar la bomba de aceite se ha vuelto un tanto complicado; de hecho, este era el segundo día consecutivo que salíamos en su búsqueda. Afortunadamente, esta vez nos dieron dos referencias de ventas de repuestos donde posiblemente la tenían, así que hacia allá nos dirigimos con la esperanza renovada.
The heat was so stifling that we had to make a strategic stop at an air-conditioned bakery to cool off and rehydrate. We sat down for a while, chatted, and breathed in the fresh air. We weren’t looking for food, since we’d already had lunch before leaving the hotel; we just wanted a break from the sun, which seemed to show no mercy.
El calor estaba tan sofocante que tuvimos que hacer una parada estratégica en una panadería climatizada para refrescarnos e hidratarnos. Nos sentamos un rato, conversamos y respiramos aire fresco. No buscábamos comida, porque ya habíamos almorzado al salir del hotel; solo queríamos un respiro del sol que parecía no tener piedad.
After getting something to drink, we resumed our search. To our surprise, when we arrived at the first store, they told us they did have the part—but at a ridiculously high price. We decided to try the second option, and luckily for us, they had it too—exactly the same part, but for half the price. These are the kinds of things you have to deal with, but the important thing is that we finally got what we needed.
Después de hidratarnos, retomamos la búsqueda. Para nuestra sorpresa, al llegar a la primera tienda nos dijeron que sí tenían la pieza, pero a un precio irrisorio. Decidimos ir a la segunda opción y, para nuestra suerte, también la tenían, exactamente la misma pieza, pero a la mitad del valor. Son cosas con las que uno debe lidiar, pero lo importante es que finalmente conseguimos lo que necesitábamos.
Happy to have the replacement part in hand, we headed back home. The heat was still intense, and the sun—well, let’s not even go there. The good news is that we achieved our goal for the day, something that had seemed impossible the day before. Now my husband can continue working on the car in his spare time; he thinks he’ll have it ready by this weekend.
I’ll see you next Wednesday, when I’ll share another one of my adventures with you, thanks to the initiative of our friend @tattoodjay.
See you soon.
Bye.
Contentos con el repuesto en mano, emprendimos el regreso a casa. El calor seguía fuerte y el sol, mejor ni hablar. Lo bueno es que logramos nuestro objetivo del día, algo que el día anterior parecía imposible. Ahora mi esposo podrá continuar armando el carro en sus ratos libres; él cree que para este fin de semana ya lo tendrá listo.
Los veré el próximo miércoles, donde les compartiré otro de mis recorridos, gracias a la iniciativa de nuestro amigo @tattoodjay.
Hasta pronto.
Chao.

Many say they never have time to walk or take photos, but you prove it's just a matter of priorities. Those who want it, find the time, right?
Absolutely! In the end, time is always there—it’s just waiting for you to decide to make the most of it. When something does you good, you make time for it, even if it’s just a little while amidst everything else. Everyone has their own pace, but I do believe that when you really want something, you’ll find the time.🌹🌷🌺💐🏵️🪷🌻🌼🥀💮🪻🌸🍀
