Greetings to all fellow community members.

On Sunday, July 20th, I spent the entire day dedicated to construction and other chores I'm doing around my house. I finished what I was doing around 6:30 p.m., super tired. After showering, my wife suddenly said, "Let's go out to the mall and get some ice cream." I didn't think twice; I got dressed, and we left. Honestly, I would have preferred to stay and rest, but honestly, I needed to get out for a bit, and so did my wife, because we've spent many days just spending time at home. So I started my motorcycle and we left. She later noticed my tiredness and insisted on staying, but it was getting late, and my mind was telling me to get out of here.

We arrived at the San Silvestre shopping center around 7:30 p.m. This mall usually closes late because of the movie theaters. During the day, the heat was so intense that when we entered the mall, it felt like we were entering the North Pole. The change from heat to cold was significant. We started walking around for a while and then went to our favorite ice cream place there.

Afterward, we took some photos, continued touring the facilities, and stopped for a moment at the electric motorcycle sales area. Here in Colombia, more and more people are opting for this type of transportation. Before, it was rare to see someone on one of these motorcycles; now, it's simply common. To tell the truth, I really like them, not to mention their environmental impact.

Then we went up to our usual fun spot. Almost every time we come to the mall, we stop by the video game area to have fun. This area has changed a bit compared to before: there are new sections for the little ones, and they've even changed the cards, which used to work with slots and are now magnetic contact cards.

Next, I found my favorite part of the place: the massage chairs. This is wonderful, and it really suited me. I felt some relief from all the fatigue I'd done during the day. It's impossible for me to come here without getting a massage. These chairs are very comfortable; once you activate the chair with your card, it begins to work. The ones you see in the photos are a new, more advanced model. The way they perform the massage is much more efficient than the old ones.

This Sunday provided us with a very fun experience, and it also left us with the reflection that having a good time doesn't require luxuries or much planning, just the intention of breaking away from the routine and being in good company. As for money, it's only necessary and that's it. Many people shy away from having a good time—even just a weekend hike—because they don't have much money. The important thing here is to have a good time, with a lot or a little.

Thank you very much for your attention, I will see you in a future post.
