We started the day exploring the lake by kayak, then we went for lunch nearby with some friends (we even had churros for dessert!) and finished with a nice walk around the area, chatting along and enjoying the scenery. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Open air, exercise, tasty food, nature and good company; what else could we ask for?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When I first heard of this idea of going out to the \"blue and green\", I really loved it; I generally tend to stay at home a lot, probably too much, and I get lazy about going out, but I know very well that I feel much much better when I go out for walks: I recharge my physical, mental and emotional batteries. And if it\u00b4s a nice day and the surroundings are also nice, that\u00b4s the icing on the cake... Another friend of ours, Juanjo, used to call it \"performing photosynthesis\", and I also find that expression very fitting. It\u00b4s incredible how much a simple walk out in the open air can improve our mood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Blue and green. Green and blue.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Today, when I got to think about writing this post, what came to my mind was a song by U2, <em>Beautiful Day<\/em>, which says  <em>\"see the world in green and blue\"<\/em>. This particular line was inspired by a sentence that astronaut Neil Armstrong said while looking at the Earth from the Moon. And the song, in general, encourages us to find joy in the small things of life, even when we\u00b4re going through a rough patch.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What about you? What helps you to recharge your batteries? Do you enjoy seeing the blue and green? What\u00b4s your favourite landscape?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><em>\"It\u00b4s a beautiful day\u2026 Don\u00b4t let it get away\". <\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"> <\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Un a\u00f1o m\u00e1s se acaba agosto y llega septiembre, y en muchos pa\u00edses del hemisferio norte es la \u00e9poca de la \u00abvuelta al cole\u00bb, para los ni\u00f1os y no tan ni\u00f1os.
