I am getting out of
bed earlier every day, today being 5:00 and out by 5:15, walking to
the Pharmacy Gardens, but I found all entrances closed, so instead of
returning to the condo I decided to walk to the City Municipal Track,
and even though the track was closed, the exercise equipment on the
boundary of the track was accessible, so I was able to get a double
distance walk and also work on my muscular strength. I think both
places were closed due to a city ceremony. Hopefully this week both
places reopen.
Since I had not
looked at a map before going to the track, I had to rely on my memory
from 6 years ago and somehow I was able to retrace my steps from way
back then, everything coming back to me more clearly with each
passing step.
In the Afternoon I
studied game 2 from the Zurich 1953 chess tournament,
Najdorf/Reshevsky, a Nimzo-Indian which ended in a draw.
After a nap I
decided to walk to the old part of the city so that I could visit the
Sunday night market. The market was crowded and filled with music and
odors of food and colorful lanterns hanging over the scene.
Going to try to stay
up late to watch the Bears football game. Probably won’t make it.
