Ortigas was once a vast grassy place in the 80's. I remember my dad and my brother used to go there to watch RC races. There were just a handful of buildings dominating the area, like the Strata building. fast forward to today and I cannot even find Strata immediately because of the new and tall buildings surrounding it. Honestly, as much as possible I avoid going there on weekdays, sometimes even on Saturdays because the traffic just makes me go insane. The perils of modernization.
Anyway, one of my friends invited us to hang out in Ortigas one Sunday morning. I did not know that they close down F. Ortigas Jr. Road (formerly Emerald Avenue) every Sunday. They have free Zumba in the morning and the kids (and adults) could bike there without worrying that they would bump into a car. There are also bikes and carts for rent in case you do not have one. Several establishments like Mc Donald's, Jollibee, Krispy Kreme and Jamba Juice are also open if you get hungry.
The kids loved the free space so much that we stayed there for four hours!

| R has his own bike. But don't fret if you forgot to bring yours or do not have one. There are bikes for rent. I think the fee is P100. |

| Run, run, run! |

| Dads and the kiddos. |
