Active Sunday

@traininglog just finished a 23.01km ride, that lasted for 79 minutes.
This ride helped traininglog burn 272.0 calories.

Description from Strava: I chose an easy route, the one along 31st Avenue that connects Marianao with the neighbourhoods of Playa, Miramar, and El Vedado. It’s all downhill, and if it’s a Sunday it’s much easier to ride because the traffic decreases considerably.

I wanted to spend some time by the Malecón—that wall that borders Havana and serves as a place for all kinds of activities, from sitting in silence, lost in the deepest thoughts, to celebrating, laughing, and singing with friends or even with strangers.

During the day, however, it looks very calm. At first, I came across two youngsters, probably from the student residence at 12th and Malecón. It’s not that I spoke with them, but that was the impression I got. They were silent, and I thought the sun was stinging a little on the skin, though not as on other days; there were many fluffy clouds that sometimes acted as a screen. I also thought, with a laugh, that they would probably leave soon.

Further along, a man with a fishing rod was doing his thing. With him, I did speak.
—‘Any luck?’ I asked.
—‘Yes,’ he replied. ‘I caught something to feed my cat, while I wait for my daughter who’s at an activity in the Cohíba Hotel.’
‘Well… that’s great,’ I thought again and smiled, in a way that made it unnecessary to say aloud what had crossed my mind.
—‘And you? Are you already tired?’ he asked.
—‘No. I’m just staying here for a while and fishing like you, but with my camera’.

I think he didn’t quite understand, because I looked more like a cyclist than a photographer, and besides, the camera was in my backpack.
