WOULD YOU SAY THIS?

ONLY OUR OLDEST WAS IN TOWN, so we met midway. At the bay. Unloaded paddle boards. Set out for some mansion gawking, and sunshine... ... and paddled for 6 miles, 2ish hours. Not the traditional Christmas morning for most, on par for us.. Something weird happened all day, never seen it before. When we got home, there was still enough sunlight for me to spin the pedals and Mrs Claus to walk. Every single person I saw, on the water and on the dirt, had the exact same thing to say. We live in an area with lots of people from around the country, and around the world, representing all kinds of cultures and beliefs. Which is why I thought this was odd. The last person I talked to was a kid in his 20's from Michoacan, Mexico. New bike? No speak english. No problemo. I learned Spanish a long time ago, and can still get along pretty good. I asked where he was from, told him how much I loved the famous ice cream sticks La Michoacana, from his state. He was on a really sweet Giant Trance. Said he'd just picked it up on FB marketplace, and how much he loved it. A common language, we all understand. We talked about how long he was here and his main objective to learn English. It was time to part ways before sunset, and say the thing I'd over and over today. Merry Christmas. Feliz Navidad. --- 165.18 hrs No strength work10 minutes recovery60 minutes reading + Journaling
