swimming fail -> walking success

rei and i were supposed to go for a swim today.

unfortunately, the sports complex we were supposed to go to was closed.

(T_T)

i was so heart-broken, well, rei was heart-broke too.

we just decided to go tomorrow.

since we were already out, we decided to just take our time and walk home.

the weather was VERY VERY WARM and the walk VERY VERY FAAAAAR!

it was approximately a 5 to 6 kilometer walk*.

anyways, rei and i had stopovers.

we could not really take the heat so we bought ice cream.

i had strawberry-vanilla flavor.

cool and oishii!

(~_^)

along the road, we saw these bougainvillea that were in full bloom!

here are the pictures.

rei said it looked like sakura blossoms (~_^) <3

next that caught our attention were these purple-white flowers. (~_~)

purple-white bloom

purple-white buds

now that i think about it,

even if we were not able to swim and we were so tired when we got home,

i was happy to be able to enjoy simple joys today.

----------
*when i said 5 to 6 kilometers, i was merely referring to the walk home.

i would like to add that we also walked from my Miriam College (my former school and rei's present school) to the sports center,

that is another 3 to 4 kilometers.

so today, we walked approximately 8 to 9 kilometers.

(~_~)

i love it!
