7Dec2022 - crlazlo meanderings 2 is now 2.1 - I will continue to use it as a preview/workspace for my FB posts, but I will also start organizing the many photos from my retirement years, and also start a journal/memories thing. That's the plan anyway.

I'm slowly increasing my walking goals now. This morning I decided to Walk to the Holiday Sale at Landers SuperStore over by Ayala. Landers is one of the two Costco like stores here in Cebu City. I figured if I left at 8:30am and kept a steady pace, maybe I could get there in time for the 9am opening. Two diversions delayed my goal arrival time: waiting at a crosswalk, a guy asked me "where are you from?" and I told him "US". We talked and walked together for a few blocks. You can see a little diversion squiggle in the second photo where we visited for a short time in front of his language school, and then went into the patio area in front of the school for more chatting...Chinese, a tour guide in Europe for mainland Chinese, who wants to get better at English for his work. He's more fluent in French than English. Anyway, when I resumed my walk, I was using my GPS and following the Directions it was giving me. It's funny how they do Not walk here!, for different reasons - it's warm, there are lots of Jeepneys and Taxis, etc. I clicked on Walking, and I wasn't taking shortcuts like I normally would when I walk. I finally figured out that the Walk portions in the Directions Map only pertained to the short change-overs between different Jeepneys. I zoomed in and instead of a little person emoji, I was a little Red Car. Haha... My MapMyWalk stats: I walked 3.03 miles, but with my socializing, and getting disoriented as the little Red Car, it took me 1 hr and 28 minutes to get there. I then did my shopping and took a taxi back home. If I had less to carry, I would have walked back home :)
