this weekend i couldn't get enough sun and fresh air... i also couldn't stop admiring the blue blue sky and the tiny new leaves on the trees.

saturday morning when i woke up i went to my favorite park to sit in the grass and read...i've been having trouble concentrating lately, so reading didn't quite work out, so i just closed my eyes and lay in the sun. i had on a long sleeve shirt and thin summer pants; so wasn't very hot out but in the sun it was just right.

after the park i changed into gym clothes and jogged to my 2nd favorite park. once i reached the park i heard violins. it was 3 guys, two large speakers, their strings and some really beautiful music. so, i joined the scattered crowd on the grass, closed my eyes and just listened to these guys...

this impromptu concert is one of the things i love about this city. i truly enjoyed the music.

later in the day i met a friend at "natural deli"; it's my new heavenly eatery. there wasn't a boring thing on the menu. i had a brie and fruit sandwich on a pita with grains and raisins! yum.

sunday morning i went back to my 2nd favorite park and rented roller blades for 10 pesos ($2.60) an hour. my first lap around the lagoon and i was a little wobbly and my muscles already hurt, but by the second lap i was in a groove just swaying back and forth on the "rollers" <---that's what they're called here). it felt really good after not working out all winter long (the last 3 months).

after rollerblading i met a friend for lunch near the park. after some lunch we dodged all the people in the park (the park population doubled in size in the late afternoon.) then we found a spot in the grass and sat there talking, taking in the sun.

it was a nice sun filled weekend.
