Valentine's Day

This day is coming to the end. It actually started on the night of the 13th night because here it is a tradition to go with your friends and serenade girlfriends, or a girl that someone is interested in with the hope that she will finally say YES (lol). It was fun to see all the moving around, a little bit like Christmas; you know a lot of people on the streets, mostly teenagers, carrying around gifts such as chocolates, roses, flowers of different colors, teddy bears of all sizes, and heart-shaped balloons. There were couples walking, holding hands and expressing their love more than on other days. What I loved the most was this elderly couple walking down the street among of all the young couples; they were walking very slowly like as if time would have had stopped for them. I was thinking, "wow I wish hope I can find that someday." On my way back home after work, I saw a lot of little tents set up along this big park called Miraflores and two more tents at the entrance of my neighborhood, all selling a variety of gifts for this special day. I love when the city is this colorful and this is why I associate it with Christmas.
I have to say that my dates were my Capoeira students; today I had a class at night with kids and I always love to see how they enjoy and learn in the class.
I hope you all had a good day.
I'm sending you a big hug from Cuenca Ecuador.
Have a good night!
