[ENG/ESP] Rethinking the routine and finding beauty in walking.
Happy Tuesday.
Today will undoubtedly be a beautiful day. We have to visit Coche Island for work, and although that trip deserves its own post—because it always leaves us with stories, landscapes, and moments that stay with us—today I want to share with you how our week began: a week that started off with good spirits, activity, and that positive energy we try to cultivate at home every day.
I’ve always said that the day is just like the lens through which you view it. That phrase, which seems simple, has become a sort of rule in our home. When you decide to see the good, even in the midst of setbacks, everything flows more smoothly. And that’s how this Monday began—active, productive, and with that feeling that, even if unexpected changes arise, everything can be worked out.
Our work schedule was set for the Sunsol Unik Hotel and the Parque Costa Azul Shopping Center—two places we visit frequently and where we already know every nook and cranny. However, we received an unexpected call: we had to attend a meeting at Sunsol Ecoland, located in the municipality of Gómez, quite a distance from where we were. We had to reorganize our day, prioritize the meeting, and adjust everything else. Sometimes the week starts like this, shuffling things around, but the important thing is to stay calm.
We took the Portachuelo road, the one closest to where we were. The weather was perfect, with that soft glow that illuminates Margarita’s landscapes in a special way. I took the opportunity to capture a few moments, because this route always offers beautiful views.
Feliz martes.
Hoy será, sin duda, un día hermoso. Tenemos que visitar por trabajo la Isla de Coche y, aunque esa travesía merece una publicación aparte; porque siempre deja anécdotas, paisajes y momentos que se quedan grabados. Hoy quiero compartirles cómo comenzó nuestra semana, una semana que arrancó con buen ánimo, movimiento y esa energía positiva que en casa tratamos de cultivar cada día.
Siempre he dicho que el día es tal cual el cristal con que lo mires. Esa frase, que parece sencilla, se ha convertido en una especie de regla en nuestro hogar. Cuando uno decide ver lo bueno, incluso en medio de los contratiempos, todo fluye con más calma. Y así comenzó este lunes; activo, productivo y con esa sensación de que, aunque se presenten cambios inesperados, todo puede resolverse.
Nuestra rutina de trabajo estaba programada para el hotel Sunsol Unik y el Centro Comercial Parque Costa Azul, dos lugares que visitamos con frecuencia y donde ya conocemos cada rincón. Sin embargo, recibimos una llamada imprevista; debíamos asistir a una reunión en Sunsol Ecoland, ubicado en el municipio Gómez, bastante distante de donde nos encontrábamos. Tocó reorganizar el día, priorizar la reunión y ajustar todo lo demás. A veces la semana comienza así, moviendo piezas, pero lo importante es mantener la serenidad.
Tomamos la vía Portachuelo, la más cercana al punto donde estábamos. El clima estaba excelente, con ese brillo suave que ilumina los paisajes de Margarita de una manera especial. Aproveché para capturar algunos momentos, porque esta ruta siempre regala imágenes hermosas.
There's a shop there that I love: they sell woven items, from harvest baskets to hammocks. It always catches my eye, but since it's on a highway, I rarely get a chance to stop and take a good look.
En ella hay un local que me encanta: venden artículos tejidos, desde cestos para cosecha hasta hamacas. Siempre me llama la atención, pero como está en una vía rápida, pocas veces puedo detenerme a ver con calma.
We continue our journey through Tacarigua and Santa Ana, two towns that are home to picturesque houses, full of color and tradition. It’s impossible to look at them without feeling that special charm unique to the island’s towns.

Little by little, we were getting closer to the hotel, and we knew it because you can see the lighthouse, the lagoon, and the beach—which always welcomes you with its natural beauty—from a distance. For me, passing by there is relaxing, no matter how many times I do it.
Poco a poco nos acercábamos al hotel, y lo sabíamos porque desde lejos se ve el faro, la laguna y la playa que siempre recibe con su espectáculo natural. Para mí, pasar por allí es relajante, sin importar cuántas veces lo haga.
We arrived just as the meeting was starting. Since we were invited at the last minute to discuss an issue related to the desalination plant, arriving right on time was more than acceptable. The meeting was productive, clear, and very well run. Afterward, we all went to the plant to see some of what had been explained on site so that everyone could get a better sense of the proposal. I love it when everything flows smoothly and ideas are understood without any complications.
Llegamos justo al comenzar la reunión. Como fuimos invitados a última hora para debatir un tema relacionado con la planta desalinizadora, llegar justo a tiempo era más que aceptable. La reunión fue productiva, clara y muy bien llevada. Después fuimos todos a la planta para observar en sitio parte de lo explicado y que cada quien tuviera una mejor noción del planteamiento. Me encanta cuando todo fluye y las ideas se entienden sin complicaciones.
As we said goodbye to Pedro González, we felt satisfied.

We spent the rest of the day at the Sambil Mall, specifically at the Zoom office, because the part for the truck had already arrived. Even though they hadn’t sent us a message, we’d been tracking it online and saw that it had been received at noon. We picked it up, and sometime this week we’ll go to the repair shop to have it installed.
Aprovechamos el resto del día para ir al Centro Comercial Sambil, específicamente a la oficina de Zoom, porque ya había llegado la pieza de la camioneta. Aunque no nos habían enviado el mensaje, le dábamos seguimiento por internet y vimos que había sido recibida al mediodía. La retiramos y, en el transcurso de la semana, iremos al taller para instalarla.
That’s how our week began: rescheduling, making adjustments, working things out, and letting everything flow. As I said at the beginning, when you decide to focus on the positive, the day falls into place.
I’ll sign off by wishing you a wonderful, productive week full of positive energy.
See you soon.
Bye
Así comenzó nuestra semana; reprogramando, ajustando, resolviendo y dejando que todo fluyera. Como dije al inicio, cuando uno decide ver lo positivo, el día se acomoda.
Me despido deseándoles una semana hermosa, productiva y llena de buenas energías.
Hasta pronto.
