yesterday, i popped out of the prision like a cork out of a champagne bottle: directionless, but full of excitement.
how much can happen in the space of a few hours! i made a new friend, a met a new family, i fell in love with another city.
at rocio´s house, people kept coming in, staying, leaving, coming back. exchanging gossip, greetings, profound statements amongst the vases, paintings, and clouds of cigarette smoke. and i was part of it for a while. taken in, included.
rocio bided her time, watched, listened, and then, easily, casually, she said i should come and stay with her when i´m back in Mexico City. i´m so happy. it´s little things that make all the difference. and of course now i love mexicans head over heels.
5 hours, 1 cactus forest, 1000 mountains, 10000 tropical trees, and a bus ride later, i´m in Oaxaca. ready to go.
