A different walk makes life more fun

    What are we having for lunch today? I ask that many times at home, and I never get an answer, so then I think on my own and invent new recipes, mostly nameless. Because you take a little of this, a little of that and make a mix that is ultimately food. Delicious - in most cases. I guess that's how my post from yesterday was created, with the same methodology, everything was mixed, but in the end, an "edible" fusion was obtained, to which @palomap3 replied:

    Only you can mix hyacinth bulbs, a composer and chocolate in the same publication.

    Well, if she said that yesterday, I wonder what she and others will say about today's mix... we will see ducks, a botanical garden, a musical kiosk, some street art and a bar called piano.

    Que tinguem sort - oops, that's a song I have to learn to play the piano part for today's rehearsal, but let's not deviate from the topic. So, may we be lucky, all of us in today's Wednesday Walk post!

    As you see, the starting point of this walk is the Botanical Garden, located in Parque Grande José Antonio Labordeta, in Zaragoza. We already met this park, and some time ago I also talked about the painted benches that can be found there.

    Today we pay more attention to the fauna of the little Botanical Garden - ducks.

    They also walked around the puddles as it was not possible to swim in that quantity of water. At least we can say that these ducks perfectly match the purpose of this post. To walk. Apart from ducks, we see a pigeon in the background... wich is again a match as we had the real Paloma with us during this walk!

    Oh, that white duck from the last photo had a quick pace, he didn't want just to stroll. He was serious in this walking thing, and so were we too. We left behind the little Botanical Garden and passed by El Quiosco de la música - which would be The music kiosk in English. It was constructed more than a hundred years ago. How pretty it is!

    Let's see the new ingredient in this walking post. Public transportation. We took this tram to go to the city centre and look around there, have lunch etc. I prefer the tram over the buses, as it is so much easier to follow its route. I think it's impossible to get lost when you take a tram... and you know which station to get off at. 😂

    A question to those who are not from Zaragoza. Do you know what is called the building we see in this photo? It has an official name, but the locals gave it a different nickname... that is what I am referring to in my question...

    Already close to the city centre, in the narrow streets I saw a few interesting venues. Is it a bar or club, I don't know, it was closed. But you see the reason why it caught my attention. PIANO.

    Don't ask me why that LA LA part 😂

    Cool messages here. Some of them say:

    Sometimes I pretend to be normal, but I get bored and I go back to being me.

    Different people make life more fun

    I think I will modify this message and call this Wednesday walk post in a similar way ;)

    When we arrived at the part of the city (El Tubo de Zaragoza) where we had lunch, I took these photos of drawings on the walls. They are not spectacular, however, this mural with the girl and houses for sale emerging from her hair probably has a deeper meaning to the citizens of Zaragoza.




    A group of passers-by also liked the walls and they asked me to take a photo of them, with the murals in the background. No worries, I just hope they were satisfied with their photos later.

    As I am not a photographer. I am just someone who mixed now different ingredients in this walk and of course, had fun while doing it.
