Walking up the Avila (again) and Video!
Yesterday, we went hiking again.
The one legged man (who we have run into a couple of times) had already finished his trail. We are so amazed at people like him. There is also a very old lady with a cane and the bikers who I keep scaring us on their way down (pictures next time).
This time I tried to document the climb as much as I could while there was still daylight.
We ended up spliting in three groups: The athletes (Rosa and Fabi), The rusty old men (my nephew and I),
and the ladies (my wife and Andreina).
Here's the video
I am trying to convince @manujune to make a cover of Ilan Chester´s Cerro Ávila. I'm sure it will be a hit. In the meantime, here are the images I took (Youtube did not allow me to use Chester's music)

Play this video as the same time so you can hear the song (Cerro Avila)
Such an amazing view! Do you go in the evening because it's cooler then? I'm still chuckling over the "rusty old men." I'd be with the "rusty old ladies."
😂
It's a really tough walk, so steep. Excepto for the athletes (Fabi thanks to her youth and Rosa because she has done this all her life) we live relatively sedentary lives, so this hiking is quite a challenge.
We go mostly in the evening because that's the time my nephew is usually free from work. We rely on his car for transportation. Sometimes he goes early in the morning.
The weather is usually cool and the higher you go, the colder it gets. That also affects breathing, especially coming from a low, flat and hot city like Cumaná.
