Despite the incessant rain, the rain lulls me with their night song.
I barely had expectations about the immediate future so I can not help but be pleasantly surprised at how the universe is raised by the developments. The effort until I landed in federal district I was a huge emotional and energy, which I thought as soon as possible to mend a break. I do not know if the inertia of pace brought or, because of my willingness to let things happen, in a way that is beyond my control, the situations that I thought would need some time and are being presented as if it were a series of dominoes. I have the feeling that "angels" are guiding me in this new beginning. And they seem to be in a hurry.
The flight from Amsterdam to Mexico became quite heavy especially in the question time. 31 hours a day is exhausting. Once in Mexico City, after controls customs and security, and for the first time since I travel by air, the bags were waiting for me. They had arrived at the baggage carousels before me!. After changing money and make some inquiries about flights to Veracruz, hire a licensed taxi (you pay the fare from the airport in an office and so you avoid surprises) and we went to a hostel in the neighborhood of Coyuacan we chose for its proximity the Blue House, where he had lived Frida Kahlo and Diego Rivera and had been pending visit on my last trip to this great city. The hostel "the enchanted" proved to be a very welcoming place where I felt very welcomed and cared for.
woke
with a terrible toothache that kept me from enjoying the huevos rancheros for breakfast. Lucero, the attractive woman who ran the inn with her mother, whose husband was still living Galicia in Spain, I made an appointment with your dentist and three hours and I had a root canal done on a great clinic to only two and a half blocks from the hostel but not before having time to visit the house of Frida. Curious to touch me discover some of his works and personal effects accompanied by a sharp pain ...
Earlier that evening and we were in a van journey from Catemaco. He suggested thereby commenting traveling with the cabbie who picked us up in the airport on the issue of flooding that devastated the state of Veracruz caused by the recent cyclone had passed through the Gulf, and the possibility that the Veracruz airport was closed and although our first idea was to go to Veracruz, we decided to hire their services and go to the coast road. Curious was also the time when the driver decided to put a music CD and chose a collection of songs by Mercedes Sosa, Silvio Rodriguez and Joaquin Sabina among others. Known issues that I touched by the spontaneity of the moment and where the heart seemed to whisper that all was well, she was not alone ... When the CD ended, the driver wanted to take another but the reader and not also read ... so I had the time of silence to reflect on the magic of the moment.
After 7-8 hours of travel we Catemaco when it was dark, unload the heavy bags in a little hotel near the base and go out to eat some tacos at a little place not far away. The next day, after breakfast on the boardwalk and dodge the proposed boat trips on the lake grabbed a pirate (Community taxi) and we appeared in Nanciyaga. Revisiting the jungle was something I wanted to do for months.
While waiting to meet again in Belem, efficient and beautiful guardian of Nanciyaga, went around by. It's great to have the luck to see a pack of howler monkeys, to feel again the smell of incense in the Temazcal and fresh leaves of patchouli. Belem came to us and after hugs and talk a while with us the people of San Andres Tuxtla. Within two hours I met my liberalized mobile phone and a new Telcel prepaid SIM card (a company that is used here) for about 350 pesos (20 €) with 50 balance.
That afternoon and the next day was spent in visiting houses for rent in Catemaco. We did not see much, but useful to know the doctor's trust our friends, Christopher, a Swiss settled here.
Five days ago we left the hotel, since I am staying in a little cabin in the forest, here in Nanciyaga. I never tire of enjoying this place even though it is a time of high rainfall. I have no electricity except for a solar light bulb a few hours a day and keep us advised not to leave the hut at night because the water has risen enough and you can find a way crocodile sink, but the spectacle of Fireflies on the lagoon after the fall of the day is priceless!
