How many minutes or so at a regular fit pace?
I am just trying to get an idea of how far they are from the SL?
thanks


For me, the walk to HLH is two minutes at most, NF would be less since it's closer (you pass it on the way to HLH). Idem/Relax is five at most. Of course, I walk at a fast 15-minute per mile pace, even back up the hill. :D


HikerTom...You must fly to get to Idem/Relax in 5 minutes from SL.
I found an average paced walk to be at leat 10-15 minutes to get to Relax from SL.


Ok, maybe add a couple of minutes for traffic when crossing streets. :D But yeah, it doesn't take me long, the key is to take Calle 15 down past Parque Nacional, the government buildings and Museo Nacional; there is a pedestrian walkway that goes all the way to Ave 8, then turn right, go two blocks, turn left and you're there. And I do fly when I walk, back in May I did a 25-mile hike in Saguaro National Park East outside of Tucson that involved over 4,000 total feet of altitude gain (then all of it back down) in 10 hours, my longest dayhike ever. Definitely not the average pace. :D

I have been told that I also walk fast but I have timed it many times--Sl to Relax= 6-8 minutes. Coming back = 9-11 minutes At 68 and smoked for many years, even a slight hill slows me down a little plus coming back I am usually just a little exhausted and my legs are wabbly :roll: :D :P The chicas at Relax have a habbit of doing that to guys :twisted: :P :lol:

Come on BB57. I think it is more like 1 min and 47 sec if it is Relax opening time. :D I think you get a little bit more giddy up at opening time. :wink:

" most of the girls down here, lie as a self defense mechanism and to not have to face the truth, thinking most men couldn't accept them knowing the whole truth. Simpler, they may just want men to think they are as perfect as they want to appear to them, trying to hide what they consider to be the ugly truth about themselves. And I may be reading more into it than is there, but I do believe they consider the basis of the lies to be justified."
