así es….de mi punto de vista, pues

I went for a walk this evening (I am allowed such luxuries here in DF because a) it’s cool enough to do physical activity in the evening and b) I don’t know anyone here so I can walk uninterrupted for as long as I want) to see if the gym had opened after the flu scare.  It still has not, unfortunately.  There was a sign on the cultural center around the corner, however, that announced its re-opening will be on May 11th, the same day all primary kids go back to school.

Aside from the gym not welcoming the public yet, things are, in general, getting back to normal.  There was much more traffic on the road today, the metros were closer to their usual capacity and the juice guy right outside the metro is open again.  Restaurants were allowed to open again for the sit-down service and there were more kids in the park.

The most exciting part of my walk this evening was a family selling strawberries out of the back of their truck.  We get strawberries year-round in Olinala, but they are usually they type I term ’steroid strawberries,’ otherwise generally known in Oregon as ‘California strawberries.’  Or, put simply, flavorless.  These back-of-the-truck strawberries, on the other hand, are small and smell like strawberries and are quite sweet.  I think I’m going to make either the strawberry soup or strawberry bread out of Simply in Season.  Or maybe both…
