Walking, Reading and writing children's stories

I enjoy keeping fit and healthy by taking walks with friends or alone. I am always found reading something or other at any given time. Sometimes, the books are in English and sometimes in Spanish. I like to exercise my brain by writing children's stories which are often written in rhyme.
