Today will be the last full day we have in Ponta Delgada. Before we had breakfast and left the room for the day, both my companion and I went out for a walk and run respectively. I ventured and ran towards to the city center this morning. It’s a bit more hilly than I expected but was still a pleasant run. When I reached the plaza where we always have Uber drop us off, I remembered the time we used to walk this distance from hotel to explore whichever the city we were visiting..
As it turned out, we visited more places today in one day than all the previous days combined. After a late lunch, we headed towards to Portas da Cidade on foot. There were times I stopped to photograph whatever I found interesting and let my companion continue walking ahead. I noticed his tired and once in a while unsteady steps..
It’s time to slow down our pace. Knowing my companion, we will never stop traveling. But we definitely need to change how we travel. Life is too short not to face the reality.
