Night time - Plaza Regocijo

I tried to take pics of the same place (previous post) but at night time, the pics are horrible, but hopefully it will give you an idea of the area and what Plaza Regocijo looks like.


Do you know the meaning of the word "regocijo"? I found all these meanings: joy, delight, pleasure, amusement, exhilaration, glee, mirth.


Isn't that great? All those positive meanings! It is something I have to keep in mind :)


I still have to find out if it is possible to do some birding this weekend, I hope so with all my heart! I want to grab the binoculars and enjoy!

Will keep you posted!

New work environment

So, today I started working.

I'll tell you about the new job later on, today I just wanted to show you where it is :)

No more grey buildings and skies for me. These pics were taken after this morning's heavy rain, and if it wasn't for the wet floors you wouldn't know. I was standing on the balcony of the place. The pics don't do justice to what your eyes see. The green hills behind, the colonial architecture, the stone brick roads. Stunning. A bad day can't be that bad if you can stare at this.

For those of you who wonder, that flag is the flag of the Tahuantinsuyo, the flag of the Inca Empire, many centuries before what it is used for in other countries today.


Plaza Regocijo is just beautiful. I saw a yet-to-id bird here with Tommy, so, maybe on a break I can bring my binoculars and spy on some birds, if they allow me to scare customers like that!


This plaza is four blocks away from our new home, so, I can walk there every day! To think that it took me one hour and a half in public transport to get to work when I was in Lima!


Sundays are my 'free' days, so I'll try to go to the Urubamba Valley with Tommy and some friends next Sunday, hopefully to catch a nice bird on camera to show you :)

See you!
