A weekend focusing on nature...

This weekend we planned to chill out after a busy week and that is exactly what we did!

On Sunday morning we went to the local market to buy all type of delicious fruit. It is a market that only takes place on Sunday. They arrive in the (for me very) early morning, laying out all the fruit and vegetables. They have great prices, really a lot cheaper than when you go and buy food at the supermarket. And if you go aroung 7-8AM, it is not so crowded at all. I was going to take a picture of the market, but forgot my iPhone and my camara. But I did take a picture of some of the fruit we bought, nothing exotic but doesn't it looks all so fresh?!



Afterwards we were invited by our friends to the Metropolitan park, which is a wonderful, peaceful place in the city. They have some amazing trees that looks like they felt down and relived. 


The park is the perfect place to go for a walk, a run or use your bike for a small tour. There are hundreds of small paths and go-throughs, places that are specially designed for a BBQ with family and/or friends, and there is also a small lake with a grass court where all types of dogs are running around, playing, refreshing themselves and most of the time also the people walking around, but it is great to see how they enjoy the space and the contact with other dogs. Next time we will take our Doberman, Zeus, so he can make some friends!


Our friends were supposed to take some picture and make a video. They are going to get married on May 02nd and contracted a photographer to make some beautiful pictures of them and their son. Unfortunately, due to local policies, they only could take three pictures before someone of the guardians came to tell them that taking professional pictures was prohibited. Very weird as the park is a public place, so you would think...

But it turned out great, I got to know another park I had never visited before, which is called "Parque hundido de Jardines Vallarta" or in English "Sunken park of the Vallarta gardens". Why sunken? Because the sides are on a higher level than the centric part of the park. It is a small but peaceful place, perfect for the video.



We had a great time and enjoyed the small surprises that nature gives us on a daily basis.

And when we came home, we found this beautiful, lonely flower in our garden. Isn't  nature something mind-blowing?
