Sometimes we forget or ignore the blessings that are bestow on us. We tend to waste time on meaningless drama instead of appreciating the important elements that surround us. Last week it was Thanksgiving and for the first time in years my mother, my stepfather, my older brothers and me sat...actually sat! at the table to eat. Johnny gave a little prayer and we ate, we talked and we laughed. No matter how far you try to run away, in moments like this you notice all the details that forge you as a human being and you remember all the good times. For a few hours I did remember the dinners, the parties, when there was only one TV and we all jumped in bed to watched it...My family might drive me insane sometimes but I do have precious memories with them. All the important cast arrive to ate and a few new ones also appeared.
After an afternoon of beer and domino I went to my father's house. There was the whole crew, I mean my aunts and their families. I stayed there until 12:30am so I guess I was having a good time.
Friday I had the spontaneous idea of going to Old San Juan...for some reason the major decided it was a good day to decor so the streets were closed. Still feeling adventurous I decided on Saturday to go visit a new place in Barranquitas "Aviones". It is a restaurant on the mountain with two huge airplanes and a control tower. With just a road map I took off. First let me tell you there is NO easy way to get to Barranquitas...why so many curves did not they knew back then that the closest route between two points is a STRAIGHT line, damn. After almost 3 hours looking for the place I arrive. When you can hear the roar of people talking you know something is not right.
Me: How long for a table?
Guy: two and a half hour to sit
Me: What?!
Guy:Oh, and another hour and a half to eat
Me:...
By the time I was able to react I was in the car with directions to the "shortest" route. As I said there is no easy way to get in or out. at least I know where the place is.
It was a pleasant weekend I even surprise myself with been away from WoW for 3 days.
I will fulfill my quest on Barranquitas and San Juan but I think I will bring victims next time.
