Festival de Verano - Parque Simon Bolivar

August 4, 2018 (Morning)

Exercise Type: Run

Comments:
Today's run was surreal. After cleaning up some data from my research stint in July, I dashed out of our "Don Sebastian" apartment building to Parque Simon Bolivar. I felt particularly spry and happy so I took the run a little faster than steady. When I got to the park, I discovered that a GIANT festival-- the Festival de Verano -- was happening in the park. As I ran around the park, I enjoyed the smell of delicious Colombian foods (empanadas, arepas, platano maduro, and patacones) wafting over from dozens of food stands and the sight of countless Colombian families playing soccer, picnicking, and flying multi-colored kites above. I also paused to watch hundreds of gleeful kids and their parents dancing zumba-style to bachata and reggaeton music. I was so grateful to have serendipitously run into such a happy scene that the entire run felt amazing.
