I’ve been on a trip in Mexico. I now have ideas for a chapter. Might just rearrange it for keeping it cleaner but just- the bois-

This is very long. Encapsulated two weeks of my life. Read at your own risk.

(Tw for almost throwing up. Fish carcass. (Unrelated) And a few other questionable but not really things.)

Greenhouse au ideas

•Going to Guadalajara. Also reader has larger family/ is traveling with a large group for the first half. And yes they are technically Hispanic. Or in non Hispanic terms, you passed Spanish class.

- On the first day you buy a bracelet because it reminds you of sun and he is ecstatic. Later you buys one that reminds you of moon.

- There is a swimming pool that is see through so it looks like an aquarium tank.

- You swim there with family/group. Boys watch and have fun. (100% dressed in the outfits sun-e-chips made for their waterspark au) You pretend to be a mermaid. Sorta. You raced some people one on one and lucky you, you won like 50% of the time! Almost drowned at some point but you tried to make sure the boys didn’t realize. They did. That was a fun night. (No it wasn’t)

- The next day you buy a cowboy hat, a leather belt, some leather boots, and a phone holder to attach to the belt, also made of leather. Sun had a field day with that. And then bought all the same things to match, and you love it.

- they go to the beach and you swim in the waves. That day you end up only spending half of the day in the water. When the sun goes down there’s a thunderstorm and sun almost dies trying to get your attention to get you out of the water (yes he is sorta water resistant but he got scared for your safety and you were relaxing too much.

- The next day you all end up going to crab island. The water is clear there and you swim for a few minutes but you hate it because there are a ton of crabs.

- When you go back to the beach you end up brushing along something, it happens a lot, so you pick it up to see what it is and it’s a fish carcass, half of it at least. The tail. 30 minutes later your sister/close female friend finds the exact same carcass.

- It’s horrifying. You end up staying in the water until sundown.

- They go to Islan del Río Nayarit and climb cristo Rey (you die lmao)

- There’s a kid on the way up in one of the houses. Your mom/some older women, asks if he can help them the way up. He says ‘if you don’t kidnap me I’ll help you!’

- This makes you and sun laugh because no one here has need for more or any kids.

- There are a ton of cats.

- (The climb back down they are very worried because your legs are shaky. Shouldn’t have tried to show off your strength climbing a mountain, Jesus.)

- On the trip from cristo Rey to tequila they are trapped in the car for hours but the air is fine. They are in a giant bus/car thing. It fits 19 people not including the driver, plus all of their suitcases so there’s a good amount of space.

- Los dos carnales by el envidioso plays in the background while you start to focus on what’s happening. Around the end of the song someone make it louder so it feels like the intro to a movie. The three of you (you, sun and moon) joke about that.

- We move to a different bus but forget to say bye to the og driver.

- You thinks about him (no not og driver. He will be revealed later in the story) But are reminded that you have sun and moon now. And are happy. Because there are no seatbelts you sit with the boys. They are your seatbelt.

- For the last 9 days they stay at European lifestyle hotel, there are three separate rooms but sun/moon charge in your room for the nights. Cosy.

- They go to ride horses on the third day at the hotel. In Guadalajara in a park with a castle and Japanese gardens called bosque los Colomos.

- The next day you go to Ahihi and Chapala, and buy a moonchim that reminds you of moon with elephants on it.

- In Tonalá you finds a giant fan for only 75 pesos and manage to barter it slightly to make it 70. Its huge. You are very elated.

- In San Juan de Dios, there are tons of artisan shops. Sun finds an apron of loteria that says ‘El Sol’ and buys it without a second thought.

- In same location: man comes up to their group, asking if they want a phone charger that does massages. Goes to the first person (dad/older man in the group) and places it on his shoulder/ back and then the second person too (little brother or Gregory) before getting to you and retracting his arm. Maybe it was your glare or sun’s ‘touch her if you dare look’ but something deterred him.

- Later on in the day everyone goes to the center of Guadalajara and some women does the same thing but they get to you first. Sun is enraged because it makes you scared (you jump and are very embarrassed) and he knows you don’t like touch that you don’t expect. But he manages to smile at the women and tell her ‘we don’t need any’. Mutters afterwards that he’s plenty good at massaging. It makes you laugh (but he’s being serious).

- You sees a dress shop that will make a custom dress for her while on their walk. You really want it but alas it’s around 750 US dollars and therefore too much for you to pay for. Sun and moon are really touchy the next few hours, hugging your waist and sometimes it’s funny or weird for some reason, your hips or even your chest but you don’t think too much on it. They disappear for a few minutes (almost a good hour) the next day while your group is at the the Guadalajara center again. (They are planning something).

- You find a fruit cupshop while they are gone and buy some mangos. Best damn mangos you’ve ever eaten.

- Later of the day of the first disappearance, your group goes to Tlaquepaque (sun and moon are not left behind). When taking a photo in front of the sign you laugh softly because of a kid who is messing around and ask him is he’s taking the photo with you guys. The kid runs and both you and sun laugh. While taking the photo you both stand next to the A because it has sun and moon decals yippee.

- Same day you do the shock game with your family and sun is horrified that humans do this for fun. You enjoy yourself, and get very shocked. You make it to level 5 in the group one but then you go by yourself and it’s much… much worse. You still make it to 5 but you can’t move your arms and sun is still very worried for your safety and also notes, sort of, that you have a lack of self preservation skills.

- The next day they go to Mazamitla. You go to pet tigers and do tons of crazy things like:

- Sun thinks you’re crazy. Notes that you 100% have lack of self preservation skills.

- You guys are in a very precarious van. It’s taking you on this tour. Seats held up by rope and very dirty. You have fun with all the giant divits in the ground as the rickety bus drives. You think it’s very entertaining. Sun is once again horrified. (Even more notes for lack of self preservation)

- Then you go on a zip line while there’s rain. Sun is not happy and goes in the car with you guys. Wearing a coat of course. The truck is rickety and worse, you and everyone else going on the zipline are in the trunk. You meet some very nice, very funny people(Sun is not amused by them) Sofia-Sofie 15, Miguel-migi 17, Viviana-Vivi 17, Alya-Aly 15, and two others who you don’t get the names of but they are both 27 years old.

- (Yes I met these randos in the trunk car ride up the mountain in freezing cold pelting rain. Nothing was gonna stop me from going on that zipline.)

- At some point the rain gets so bad that you all have to wait inside the car smooshed together. Very interesting and smelly but you manage to make it up the mountains by foot to the zip lines.

- The first one is slower, you get more of a view. Holding onto the rope that is attached to you. You almost miss catching the persons hand at the end and almost get stuck further away, when sun arrives (because of course he had to get on now that it was raining) he insists on going first on the second one. The second one goes so fast it sounds like a helicopter. You get specific instructions to hold on to the metal and hang with your legs facing as forward as possible. You get scared and focus more on getting the signal ti let go of the metal, that you miss seeing everything. You see sun at the end though. Very clear yellow against the dark green background.

- When you make it to the end Sun catches you by the waist, holding onto the precarious stairs/platform up in the trees instead of taking your hand, insisting that he didn’t want you to get stuck again.

- Very embarrassing for you yes (and also you blush but we ain’t talking about that) but his mechanical heart was in the right place. He helps you down by sort of lifting you and hurriedly taking your helmet off, knowing that you were gonna be late for your ride, the poorly held together bus. Staying inside of the truck sorta made you behind because it was raining so much.

- You take off the harness as fast as possible. A 4 year old being the one to take your things. It’s a surprise but you follow her instruction and within the minute, sun is carrying you slightly towards the bus. (He doesn’t want you stepping in mud, such a gentleman)

- When you reach the bus, it has a tarp over the windows to protect people from the harsh rain.

- The bus driver sings songs all the way down the mountain which sun, and you, are concerned about because he was also driving.

- He sings 3 songs, very nicely might you add, you wonder why he’s a bus driver. Sun sings to some, obviously accessing the internet to do so and somehow sings in Spanish… (he was fishing for compliments 100% because he didn’t like that you were complimenting the driver so much)

- When you guys get off the bus it’s pouring so hard you can’t go anywhere. You enter Mia’s boutique to get a better sweater, because yours is not meant for rain. You end up just getting a poncho but sun gets one too. You joke about him riding horses now will make him look like an actual cowboy.

- You eat at a random restaurant, ordering a beef hamburger with fries and sit at a two seater with Sun. You eat your fries first happily, and start to drink your lemonade before taking a bite of your hamburger and making a face before setting it down. Getting embarrassed you tell sun you’d rather not eat it because it tasted really strange. Sun scans it and says it’s a mix of pork and beef apparently. Great.

- You go to get a crepe instead. Enjoying it despite the overtly sweet strawberry tinge flavoring. You asked for chocolate… oh well.

- As you eat it you slowly have a harder time swallowing being the flavor is just not agreeing with your taste buds.

- By your last big bite you almost throw up. The bile rises through your throat as you desperately try to keep it all in. It works but sun notices and takes you to the side. Holding you to let you sit on the bench without getting wet (because of the rain) and talks to you about stuff.

- He asks why you tried to finish it even if you knew you didn’t like the flavor. You refrain from telling him about how you were used to always finishing/ being forced to finish your food even if it meant throwing up, and you instead tell him It was just expensive so you didn’t want to waste money. The best lie is the truth after all and that was part of the reason you finish it.

- On the trip back to the car you trip slightly. Sun try’s to catch you even though you don’t fall and the position that leaves you in is very fun! (Once again no. Mud sucks)

- The ride back to the hotel you sleep together in the back of the car, (family/friends are driving) very relaxing 10/10 experience.

- The showers have been having issues, very hot then very cold, but at this point you are used to it.

- Next day you go on a new tour bus. First stop was to Vicente Fernandez’s ranch and pet a ton of horses and see so many new cool flowers that you 100% are adding to the greenhouse.

- Then you go to a tequila factory.

- You taste 5 separate flavors of the 7 being served. All of them you hated. White, peach, mango, coffee, and one other that you don’t remember the name of.

- You don’t feel uneasy or sick at all afterwards. Yay you’re not a lightweight go Mexican genes.

- Then you go at a nice restaurant back in Ahihi. (I don’t think I spelled it right)

- Then on a boat ride on a very questionable boat. You live, but have anxiety about sinking the whole time.

- Then you go to Chapala. You buy a sunflower cowboy hat because it reminds you of Sun.

- Then you buy another Sun related thing, a yellow jar with sand and tiny trinkets inside.

- Now you need to get two moon related things. It’s only fair of course.

- You start to run out of time.

- You don’t end up finding moon things. And see ultimately upset about that. Sun and moon were fine but you still felt really bad about that. It meant a lot to the both that you were so upset about it not being fair though.

- Then you remember you bought the moon wind chime so almost all is forgiven for yourself.

- This time on the way back you end up falling asleep so moon stays with you awake until it’s time.

- You guys end up back at Guadalajara center.

- You start going to the area with the yummy fruit and pass by a clown show. The one from the first week.

- You don’t know how you end up in the situation but one clown is waiting in front of you while everyone chants “beso! Beso”

- You end up saying ‘lo siento pero no me gustan los payasos. Prefiero los jistes.’ (Im sorry but im not into clowns, I prefer jesters)

- Sun/moon are pleased and the crowd goes ‘ahh’ disappointed

- You give sun/moon a kiss on their faceplate and the crowd goes ‘aww’ happily.

- You go buy another mango cup because it’s so yummy, and sun and moon are amused you get it from the same spot as you did only days earlier.

- Second to last day you go back to Guadalajara center and find a necklace that has a moon on it and you are ecstatic. Balance has been restored.

- You go back to the mango shop and learn that the magos they use are Kent mangos? THe most amazing mango’s you’ve ever had that’s for sure.

- Last day at your hotel you start going over everything. Everything you have gets packed into 3 suitcases and 2 duffle bags.

- Sun had a ton of stylish outfits because of course he did, the diva 😒.

- Then he presets the dress he bought. 725 US dollars. Because he knew you really wanted it. You practically cry as you hug and and thank him over and over again.

- You buy a doughnut from Krispy kream at the airport.

- The riee in the airplane is fun, it leaves at 11:30 and lands at 1:55.

- You draw the whole way back. Sun is… he finds the art to be flustering. Because you drew someone’s human sun design getting pulled into a kiss with your self insert. You thought it was funny because sun was right next to you and you wanted to mess with him.

- You almost throw up on the descent because you get dizzy for no reason. It takes 10 minutes for the nausea to go away and sun is worried the entire time.

- When you get home you hardly recognize anything but after you eat lunch you literally forget you even went on a trip.

- You shower and then sun asks if you’ll try the dress on. So you do.

- It’s perfect. The inside was comfortable and soft, and it matched the theme for your greenhouse perfectly.

- When you leave the room you go show sun he is stunned silent.

- You just found the perfect outfit for the opening of your greenhouse.

Bosque Los Colomos / Julio de 2024

Ajijic and Guadalajara

We are wrapping up our two weeks in Ajijic. Generally taking it pretty easy, which was the idea after all.

It's generally pretty quiet here. Of course, it's Mexico so there are the roosters and dogs, but since the nights are cool, we can close up and they don't bother us.

BUT, and it's a BIG BUT the neighbor here had a big party last Friday and Saturday nights. The loud music started about 5 PM and ended about 5 AM both nights. Both houses have walls around the yard, but it makes little difference. Inside with the doors and windows closed it's not too bad but still irritating. Apparently this is pretty common around here. So if you are coming to Ajijic pack earplugs!!!

We've made two trips to Guadalajara. The first was on a Friday, which was not a good idea. The traffic was bad going in and worse coming out in the afternoon.

We went to Bosque Los Colomos, a large park first. We walked around some, but it would doubtless be much better in the rainy season when more is green.

We went to the Japanese Garden, which was nice, but fairly small. But Japanese gardens squeeze a lot of green and features into a small area. It was pretty popular.

Cathie was still pretty low energy and was walking really slowly, so we didn't try to do more.

Our second stop was Basílica de Nuestra Señora de Zapopan, a Franciscan church and abby. It's the big Catholic Pilgrimage site in this part of Mexico.

Among the statues of saints and such I noticed this statue of Our Lady of Transit. My guess is she probably died waiting for a bus.

Then we decided it was time to had back and we hit the traffic of everyone else trying to get out of town. A one hour trip took two ans a half, so we were all pretty tired by the time we got back to the house.

The second time we tried to be smarter and went Sunday morning.

We started at the Cathedral of the Assumption of Our Lady in central Guadalajara. It contains altars dedicated to Our Lady of the Assumption, Our Lady of Guadalupe, Our Lady of Sorrows, Our Lady of Zapopan (patron saint of Guadalajara), Saint Dominic, St. Nicholas, St. Thomas Aquinas, St. Christopher and St. John of God, I guess there should be someone there for most issues you might have.

It's a large stone structure that looks to be in great shape, but I see it has suffered earthquake damage many time including in 2003. It's made of Cantera stone, a volcanic ash based stone common in México.

In the plaza beside the church they were constructing a large sculpture made of wood laths. It worked surrisingly well.

Then we walked to the Templo Expiatorio del Santísimo Sacramento, a Gothic style church, also of the same stone.

We also stopped at MUSA a small art museum associated with the local university. The murals in the theater were especially striking.

They seem to relate school to hell.

After that we hit a couple of the downtown markets plus the street markets along the way. I think we bought nothing. Yea!

On the way to the market we passed by the Teatro Delgado, a handsome building, but we were not able to get inside.

With that it was time for the drive back to our Ajijic home. Not too bad on a Sunday, but we are finding that the engine and air conditioning both overheat in slow traffic.

desde que era un bebé tenía como esta sensación de que mi gusto por los camiones era algo como raro. era de esas cosas que sabes que no tienen nada de malo pero que la raza me fue enseñando a que era raro, mis tíos se burlaban de ese pedo, mi jefa decía de broma que me gustaban los choferes y el martín y doña rosa decían que era de gente rara

cuando estaba en mi casa viendo la tele en 2008 y vi pasar el S-0669, se detuvo por el tráfico justo en mi casa y se alineó la puerta del frente, justo donde dice "zafiro". fue ahí cuando por pura casualidad busqué zafiro en google y naturalmente el algoritmo me arrojaba resultados del mineral, luego busqué camión zafiro, ayco zafiro e international zafiro y eventualmente di con imágenes de agencias y blogs. en una de esas imágenes, era un camión de alianza que había subido el jorge en fotolog

fue entonces cuando di con que había un gremio de gente que tenía el mismísimo interés que tenía yo por los camiones, una raza tripeaba con una empresa, otros con un camión en específico, otros con una marca, otros con trenes, pero a fin de cuentas empataba la afición por los camiones y el transporte público, y fue en esa coincidencia donde hallé mucho refugio

fue triste cuando me tocó entrar a la secundaria y tuve que disociar completamente una vida de otra porque aparte de que me bullearan por gordo y porque decían que era joto, me bulleaban porque me sabía los números de los camiones de muchas rutas

a modo de coma parentético y para darle un poquito de drama a este caption, recuerdo que un día invité a mis amigos memo y várez a mi casa porque íbamos a dar el rol en bici, y me encerraron en un cuarto y mis amigos se pusieron a esculcar las cosas que había guardadas atrás de unas cortinas, ni siquiera querían robar, sólo fue por ver qué hallaban, y encontraron una caja de zapatos donde yo guardaba mi colección de boletos ordenada por empresa de transporte y mis amigos la voltearon, desordenaron y rompieron

cuando estaba en la prepa por equis o ye terminé contándoselo a venancio en nuestro primer rol, recuerdo que lo vi en el aurrerá de santa tere y me fui en el S-0935 de la 634 y venancio se regresó a su casa en el S-0912. sí se burló un poquito, pero encontré una aceptación genuina y se sintió chida, aunque fue hasta unos años después cuando se lo conté al chagi y tocó decírselo casi como en plan de que hubiera matado a alguien, o como si tuviera cáncer terminal de la delicadeza con que trataba esa información, yo sentía que la podían usar para asesinarme o algo así

cuando entré a la universidad y empezó más el rollo este de que había que aceptar a la gente y esas cosas, y dije arre ps ni modo, ya no quiero fingir. y se la conté al urzúa casi sin conocerlo, al iván, a la marialy, al david, al roberto y a todo el mundo y parece ser que a todos les valió verga y eso para mí fue el cielo. naturalmente no esperaba que empatizaran con mi trip, pero el hecho de no haber recibido un vergazo emocional se sintió como una bendición

tiempo después me di cuenta de que la gente esta que inicialmente me había acogido en la similitud eran unos vatos bien misóginos y acosadores, que al chile representaban un montón de cosas bien desagradables concentradas en un grupo de compas unidos por esa afición, la que ellos decían que era la "busología"

después de que tripié eso, alv me costó más de 10 años darme cuenta de que el del pedo nunca fui yo, qué pedo con que mis "amigos" hayan hecho lo que hicieron en mi casa? qué tan degenerada y rotten debe de estar la mente de un morro de 12-13 años para hacer una acción con ese nivel de premeditación y malicia? por qué me conformaba con que la indiferencia se sintiera como un apapacho espiritual?

luego ya del 2019 para acá donde me empecé a ahora sí destapar abiertamente y subir fotos a instagram de camiones y a hablar de eso tanto académica como socialmente, me empecé a sentir más cómodo y realmente logré sentirme plenamente cómodo con eso. qué pasó después? que lo empecé a explotar para la escuela, y mi "formación" o como se le pueda llamar me daba una ventaja con respecto a temas de gestión del transporte público en la movilidad urbana con respeto a mis compañeros, y empezó a haber un interés genuino. se me acercaban para preguntarme cosas y cuando tocaba platicarles algo, por muy chiquito que fuera como el que todas las rutas que son del 300 al 380 eran circuitos, me llenaba mucho de ilusión y me hacía sentir muy bonito

cuando le contaba historias a la gente y no solamente se mostraba interesada sino que además se sorprendían gratamente, o hacían gestos en los que me decían que les daba gusto que supiera tanto de eso (o cuando les daba gusto que les contara que fui a manejar por primera vez, shout out para narda porque es la única humana que me dijo eso a la que sí le creí) se sentía como si fuera un sueño. fue muy difícil para mí desaprehenderme de la podredumbre emocional con la que cargaba por mi "formación" y transferirlo a otros vínculos donde se sentía amor

no me arrepiento de nada que haya hecho que tenga que ver con los camiones. para bien o para mal, toda esa mierda que me tocó vivir me hizo darme cuenta de que mi intención nunca fue quedar bien con mis tíos, o mi mamá, o mis bullies, o los busólogos, o mis amigos o mi pareja, lo que siempre quise fue poder terminar de aceptarme en todos los espectros de mi vida, casi que me está tocando aprender a vivir conmigo mismo y por lo menos para eso me sirvió todo este pedo, pa darme cuenta de que no me caigo bien pero que ps sí puedo aprender a simpatizar conmigo mismo :)

foto del camión en el que me enseñé a manejar en la bajada de la putisisisisisisísima secundaria 47, con el bosque artificial de colomos III de fondo y el skyline de andares que me tocó ver cómo lo fueron construyendo desde que era niño, con un cielo que puedes oler y palpar de lo bonito que estaba y una colonia que nunca se ha podido sentir menos violenta desde que tengo memoria, y obviamente no hablo del crimen
