Ang sapa ba ay stream sa ingles?

Twin Streams Project marker at Sunnyvale

Di ko akalain na kapag may sapa sa paligid, ito ay pwedeng maging dahilan para gawan ng cycle and walk path to encourage people to use it instead of taking the sidewalks. Sa halos araw-araw na pag-aaral ko ng mga mapa ng Auckland, parati kong nakikita ang ganitong daan. I haven't explored it yet coz I'm not sure if these are as straightforward as you'd see them in the map. Kasi if not, baka maubos oras ko kakahanap ng exit and I might miss my next bus/ train ride.

So I finally decided to take on that path last Thursday since I got home early (wala pang 5pm nun). There's the Twin Streams walk and cycle path just a few minutes from the train platform. There's also a car park just off the train station for commuters who want to leave their cars. If you live in the suburb, having a car is critical otherwise, you'd spend most of your time walking at least 10 minutes just to reach the major bus and train stops. And Auckland is known for its dynamic changes in the weather so it's not always guaranteed that you'd be able to keep yourself dry.

It was a leisurely walk. I loved the smell of freshly cut greens. I can even see the tracks made by the lawn mower. Every household around me were in the process of trimming their wintered greens. Later on I found a small playground and a bridge tucked behind the path. There are fences with backdoors that gives the house direct access to this little path of green. At some point, the pathway split. I felt that I was going farther from my route so I headed to the direction that seemed to go straight to a street - Millbrook Rd. 

Looking at the map and then at the actual surroundings, I had a feeling that if I took the left way, I'd probably end up near Henderson. I've walked that direction already just by following the streets and it took me almost 30minutes to get there. It was getting late and I know coz it's getting mighty chilly again! So I traced my way back to the house.

Seeing the familiar streets of Awaroa and Wattle gave me a sense of achievement for at least I know now what's in there. And it would probably be worth exploring some more next time. I can just imagine how discovering places like this could be such a great adventure especially for kids.
