Odina and I had plans to go for a hike to Nevado de Toluca today, the idea was also to take Mokka with us. However, Odina (a.k.a. Happy Cheeks) woke up not feeling very well, also the day didn’t look very promising since there were clouds everywhere as well as scattered rains. Definitely a bad combination for hiking in the mountains…

So I opted for a change in plans. We came back to my place and while Odina took a long nap I played with Mokka and did some housekeeping stuff. She woke up at noon then we had a long philosophical chat about life… At 2 p.m. we realized we were starving so we went out to get some tacos for lunch. On our way to the taqueria, we passed by the circus and bought a pair of tickets for the evening show.

After lunch we noticed that the clouds were almost gone and that the afternoon promised good weather so we picked up the crash pad from my place and went for some bouldering at Chiluca’s cave. I taught her the basics of climbing and she was able to do a little bit of the traverses on her own, she definitely has abilities. We rested and chatted as the sunset came close then headed to the circus because the show was about to begin.

We greatly enjoyed the spectacle, it had been a very long time since we went to the circus. We saw acrobats, clowns, horses, tigers, etc. for almost 2 hours, we were amazed just like every other kid in the arena. After the show we called it a day and headed back home, really happy that we ended up having such a great time despite the change in plans
