I wish you all a wonderful start to the week and, above all, a very productive one.
This Sunday was a day of rest for me. I didn't go out early, but stayed at home until after lunch. I only went out with the intention of doing some necessary shopping for the week and filling up the gas tank, which will allow me to work without worries for the next few days.
The heat was quite intense from dawn, with hardly a breeze, as is often the case here on the island. When the weather becomes a little aggressive due to the heat, hydration is essential. That's why I always carry my water bottle with me, which is indispensable on these hot days. The natural and urban landscapes looked beautiful, and I didn't miss the opportunity to capture a few moments with my camera.

Les deseo un inicio de semana maravilloso y, sobre todo, muy productivo.
Este domingo fue un día de descanso para mí. No salí temprano, sino que me quedé en casa hasta después del almuerzo. Salí únicamente con la intención de hacer algunas compras necesarias para la semana y de llenar el tanque de gasolina, algo que me permite trabajar sin preocupaciones durante los próximos días.
El calor estuvo bastante intenso desde que amaneció, no corría apenas brisa, así suele pasar algunos días aquí en la isla. Cuando el clima se torna un poco agresivo por el calor, no puede faltar la hidratación. Por eso algo siempre con mi termo de agua, indispensable para estos días calurosos. Los paisajes naturales y urbanos se veían hermosos y no perdí la oportunidad para facturar algunos instantes con mi lente.

At home, we usually do our shopping at the butcher's shop in the Sigo Costa Azul market, a place we love. They know us there and always serve us with kindness, quality, and speed. It's a pleasure to go there because, in addition to getting everything we need, the service is excellent. It's one of those places that becomes part of your routine because it makes you feel so comfortable.

En casa mayormente hacemos las compras en la carnicería del mercado Sigo Costa Azul, un lugar que nos encanta. Ya nos conocen allí y siempre nos atienden con amabilidad, calidad y rapidez. Es un gusto ir, porque además de conseguir todo lo que necesitamos, el trato es excelente. Es uno de esos sitios que se vuelve parte de tu rutina por lo cómodo que te hace sentir.

After finishing at the market, we went to fill up with fuel. We did so at the PDV Centro Automotriz Plaza gas station, located on Jovito Villalba Avenue, in the municipality of Maneiro, Nueva Esparta state, on Margarita Island, very close to the Parque Costa Azul shopping center. We like that gas station because, although not all of them are open on Sundays, that one was. That's why I usually prefer to fill up on Fridays, so I don't run into the problem of finding a closed gas station. However, due to work issues, I couldn't do it in advance this time and had to do it on Sunday.

Después de terminar en el mercado, fuimos a surtir combustible. Lo hicimos en la estación de servicio PDV Centro automotriz Plaza, ubicada en la avenida Jovito Villalba , municipio Maneiro del estado Nueva Esparta en Isla Margarita, muy cerca del centro comercial Parque Costa Azul. Esa bomba nos gusta porque, aunque los domingos no todas están abiertas, esa sí estaba funcionando. Por eso normalmente prefiero poner gasolina los viernes, para no correr con el contratiempo de conseguir una bomba cerrada. Sin embargo, por temas de trabajo esta vez no pude hacerlo con antelación y me tocó hacerlo el domingo.

There were a few vacationers at the gas station, possibly taking advantage of the weekend to go to the beach. It is common to see this type of movement on Saturdays and Sundays, especially during this season when many seek to enjoy the sea and the sun.

En la gasolinera había algunos temporadistas, posiblemente aprovechando el fin de semana para ir a la playa. Es común ver este tipo de movimiento sabatino y dominical, especialmente en esta temporada donde muchos buscan disfrutar del mar y el sol.

Once the tank was ready, we returned home without rushing, contemplating the landscape that this type of quiet, sunny Sunday offers us. It is that kind of tranquility that connects you with your surroundings, even when the heat is relentless.

Una vez listo el tanque, volvimos a casa sin apuros, contemplando el paisaje que nos regala este tipo de domingos tranquilos y soleados. Es ese tipo de tranquilidad que te conecta con el entorno, aunque el calor sea implacable.

Once home, I prepared my husband and son's favorite dinner. Cooking for them is one of the things I enjoy most, and that's how we ended the day as a family, sharing a simple meal made with love. There's nothing like seeing their satisfied faces after enjoying something I've prepared for them with so much love.

Ya en casa, preparé la cena que más le gusta a mi esposo y a mi hijo. Cocinar para ellos es una de las cosas que más disfruto, y así cerramos el día en familia, compartiendo una comida sencilla pero hecha con cariño. No hay nada como ver sus caras de satisfacción después de disfrutar algo que les preparo con tanto amor.

Dear hives, I hope you are also getting ready to face a new week of work with enthusiasm and energy. Routine may seem repetitive, but there are always little moments that make it special.
Very soon I will be back to tell you a little more about my day-to-day life, about those little things that accompany us in our daily lives and that, in their own way, are also valuable.
See you in future posts.
See you soon,
Bye.

Queridos hives, espero que ustedes también se están preparando para enfrentar una nueva semana de trabajo con entusiasmo y energía. La rutina puede parecer repetitiva, pero siempre hay pequeños momentos que la hacen especial.
Muy pronto estaré de vuelta contándoles un poco más de mi día a día, de esas pequeñas cosas que nos acompañan en lo cotidiano y que, a su manera, también tienen valor.
Nos vemos en próximas publicaciones.
Hasta pronto,
Chao.

¡Feliz inicio de semana para vos también Tania! ❤️

What a lovely Sunday you have! I have a great time reading your perfect day, the pictures are amazing angle and full of warmth. I’m so proud of you, despite being busy with some errands, you still have time to have quality time with your family. Even myself, as a mother and wife, my love language for my loved ones is cooking. And we feel so happy in our hearts to see them eating happily with our cooked food for them. And could say that you're sweet and thoughtful. Anyway! Thank you for sharing your Sunday. I can relate to it, too. And looking forward to your next post.

Thank you for your beautiful words. Family is one of the most valuable pillars in life, and that is why I have always believed in the importance of maintaining sincere communication and harmony that strengthens us as human beings.

Since I was a child, my mother taught me that the first thing in life is to be a good son; then, a good husband and a good father. She told me that whoever fulfills these roles with love and responsibility, has a good path in life.

I am glad to know that sharing my daily life is pleasant for you. I believe that each day brings with it a new lesson, and to be able to express it with someone who values it is a gift.

I wish you a week full of peace, joy and special moments 🌹🌷🌼💮🌸🌻💐🪻🏵️🪷🥀🌺🍀

What your mom teaches you is really a huge value with wisdom. And I can see that the way you talk about your family. You are such an admirable person. And I also believe that every day in our lives, we learned something new. And this is nice to share with those people who can relate and understand the value. I feel so nice connecting with these simple stories from our daily routine. Wishing you a nice week ahead, full of love, joy, and quality time with your family.

It's your rest day but still you are productive,you got that strength🙌Stay hydrated!

Thank you for your words, I am pleased to know that you like the way we spent our Sunday.
Happy week 🌹🌷🌼💮🌸🌻💐🪻🏵️🪷🥀🌺🍀

What a nice day. I really enjoyed reading it because it relates to most families during a sunday. I love how you still had the time to be with your family and enjoy the simple things in life. Shopping a bit and then cooking your husband's and son's favorite dinner is truly amazing.

I also love the view and the photos you took. The food looks so appetizing, I now know why it's there favorite because from the photo itself it looks yummy.

I'm glad you enjoyed our Sunday. These little moments with family are really special, and yes, they deserve to be cherished and cherished at all times.

I too am showered with love and affection, and feel incredibly grateful. We really are a great team, brought together by the kind of connection that makes life lighter and more meaningful.

Thank you for your beautiful words. Wishing you a week filled with joy and peace 🌸🌻🌺💐🍀💐🍀.

Amiga las pequeñas cosas que suceden en nuestro entorno sin las que hacen diferente casa día y nos sacan emocionalmente de la rutina. A veces pequeños detalles pueden renovarnos por dentro, por cierto esa cena se ve sabrosa. Un saludos especial y feliz día para ti. Las imágenes hermosas como siempre. Muchas bendiciones.

Gracias querida Mariolis por tus palabras.
Mimar siempre a la familia es bueno, estresa los casos.
Te deseo un hermoso y bendecido comienzo de semana 🌹🌷💮🌸🌻💐🪻🏵️🪷🥀🌺🍀

A simple Sunday, yet it feels so full—fresh markets, beautiful views, and the kind of food that makes you slow down and smile. I love how you capture the trees since I'm into nature.

I'm glad you liked the dynamics of my day.
Here on the island nature is beautiful.
I wish you a great day. 🌹🌷💮🌸🌻💐🪻🏵️🪷🥀🌺🍀
