I’ve walked 7,171 steps along Calle Estaban Salas this morning. That’s my usual routine and route.

 

But there are additional exercise options here in El Cajon Costa Rica that I haven’t experienced yet. My neighbor Diane told me about one of them.

 

(Reminder: I met Diane once, briefly, the first time that my driver Marianela came looking for me to take me into town. She overshot my driveway and went farther down CES than she needed to. Diane — whose name I couldn’t recall when I wrote about her the first time — is the lady who used my phone to explain to her where I was.  I’ve talked to her several times since then. She is a very nice lady originally from the States  — 18 years or more ago — and she wants to walk with me sometime, but she hasn’t yet. A number of the neighbors who live on this calle are immigrant Americanos. Diane has introduced me to several of them, whose names I am still trying to memorize.)

 

Diane says one of the exercise options here in El Cajon is located at the bottom of the hill behind the neighborhood tienda. (The hill going down to it is less steep than the hill going up to the mini mart that I usually go to.) She says there’s a futbol (soccer) field that neighbors walk on when the field is dry enough. It probably isn’t dry enough during the rainy season, but that’s about to end (at the tail end of this month) so it won’t be long until I can walk there if I get a hankering to wander further afield for my exercise.

 

No new pictures today

 

I didn’t take any new pictures today except for two small, very colorful cast off tail feathers that I spotted in the driveway this morning. I’m pretty sure they’re from the motmot that hangs around here.

 

They’re  a little damp so I’m waiting for them to dry

before I try cleaning the dirt off.

 

That’s all for this time.

 

Pura vida!
