(April 25, 2013) I have been enjoying Mexico now for 25-days, but unfortunately the illusive 'Montazuma' and coupled revenge found me and thus I found my bed, so that was a setback on the everything front. I also hope that for some of my trip I can ditch the bread and rice diet.
... (after this no more excuses) it has been a bit of a struggle finding internet with some strength and with an uninterrupted connection, but I am sticking to my promise of publishing a post about Puebla.
Please know, that I choose to see the glamour around me; I choose to wonder fantastically. I've
always wanted to be a storyteller and this once unidentifiable urge has driven me to pursue an education in journalism and a career as a theatrical performer, but moreover, I want to be exposed to new things and places without judgment or categories or comparison but instead with awe and a naïve imagination. I love to travel. I think with each new place and way to live, I learn things about myself.
Puebla the city I have seen in 25-days is rich in historical treasures and there are beautiful yet tattered sights with every glance. There are fountains and statues and arrogant cathedrals.
suddenly authentic and visceral. From the bus windows, I see the auto shops with their metal barring or the graffiti art and vine-covered stone buildings, those things ignite my imagination; in my mind I try to see them as fresh, new and proud. Having lived in Arizona for most of last year a place with a history of only 100-years I like that this city shows it's history. I see beauty and strength in its age.
Today is beautiful, the clouds took about 2-hours to break and the church bells are echoing just outside my 5-floor window. I will be keeping a collection of thoughts and photos offline and when I can organize everything and post it, I will!
