Man, today was a wild ride in Juncos! Like, I woke up thinking it’d be just another chill day, ya know? But nah, the universe had other plans.
So, I’m sippin’ my coffee on Calle San Antonio, right? Just enjoying the view of the mountains. Juncos is so pretty, with those lush green hills. But then, boom! My phone buzzes. It’s my client, like, “Hey, I need that proofread ASAP!” Ugh, why do people think I’m a robot?
I rush to my favorite café, Café Juncos. Best coffee ever! I order my usual—café con leche, extra foam. But the barista, this dude named Luis, spills it all over the counter. I’m like, “Dude, really?” He just laughs it off. I mean, come on! I need that caffeine fix!
Anyway, I finally get my drink and head to the park. Parque de la Libertad is my go-to spot. It’s so peaceful there, with all the trees and the sound of the river. But today? Nah, it was packed! Kids running everywhere, parents yelling. I can’t even focus on my proofreading.
Then, outta nowhere, this little kid trips and falls right in front of me. I’m like, “Oh no!” But he just gets up, brushes himself off, and keeps running. I’m impressed! Kids are tough, man.
But then, I hear this loud noise. It’s a parade! Like, what? I didn’t even know there was a parade today! So, I’m trying to work, but the music is blasting. I can’t concentrate. I’m getting mad, but also kinda hyped. Juncos knows how to throw a party!
I decide to take a break and join the parade. Why not, right? I mean, it’s not every day you see floats and dancers on Calle José de Diego. I’m dancing like a fool, and people are laughing. It’s a good vibe.
But then, I see my ex. Ugh, why is he here? He’s with some girl, and they look all lovey-dovey. I roll my eyes so hard, I think I might’ve strained something. Like, really? You couldn’t wait a week to flaunt your new relationship?
After that awkward moment, I’m back to my proofreading. I find a quiet spot near the Plaza de Juncos. It’s nice there, but my mind is still racing. I’m thinking about the parade, the coffee spill, and my ex.
Finally, I finish the proofreading. Thank goodness! I send it off and feel this huge weight lift off my shoulders. But then, I realize I haven’t eaten all day. I’m starving!
I head to a food truck on Calle del Comercio. They have the best alcapurrias. I order a couple, and while I’m waiting, I chat with the owner. He’s super chill and tells me about the history of Juncos. Did you know it was founded in 1797? Crazy, right?
I grab my food and sit on a bench, enjoying the view of the mountains again. The sun is setting, and everything feels right. I take a bite of the alcapurria, and it’s like heaven in my mouth.
As I’m finishing up, I see the parade winding down. People are smiling, kids are laughing, and I can’t help but smile too. Juncos, man. It’s got its ups and downs, but it’s home.
So, yeah, today was a rollercoaster. From coffee spills to parades to awkward ex encounters. But I wouldn’t trade it for anything. Juncos, you crazy, but I love ya!
