This party NEVER stops
My god, Im not even going to try to write about everything that has happened in the last few days. I just got to Guanajuato, and I´m really excited to be spending a bit more time here, meeting even more people, doing even more crazy things, and getting a better sense of a city.
My time in Zacatecas was crazy, like some wild dream. One day there, I woke up at 2 pm (after a LONG night), then wandered around the city for hours. Some girls outside a house started talking to me, and they invited me in. As it turns out, this was a house of 25 18-year-old girls studying at the local university. We sat in a room, and they would ask me questions, then i would just talk, and we would sit in silence for a few minutes, and smile at each other. I was there for about 2 and a half hours, then i went with four of the girls to get some ice cream. An hour later, they were almost crying as we said goodbye. An hour later, I went out to meet a girl I had met the night before, but she never showed up. No worries, I went instead with some mexicans guys from the hostel, and we went to a club, then to a bar, then back to the club. As the club closed, we met 3 girls, one of whom was having a party at her house. We fit 9 people in a little car, and cruised over to our after-party. It was sweet; most people didnt leave until 5 or 6 am. I never left. The next day, I was still undecided as to whether or not to come to Guadalajara, but I decided I had no choice. I had already told too many people I was leaving, so off i went.
I didnt get to Guadalajara until 2 am. The next day, I took a tour of the city with this crazy czech guy, and met a nice girl from morelia. We went to this big canyon on the edge of the city. Then i wandered around alone for hours, through all of the public squares where mariachis played and street artists entertained huge crowds. I went out around 10 with an Australian guy, and didnt get back to the hostel until 5 am.
This morning, I was trying to get to the long distance bus station, Central de Buses. I asked about 15 different people where to go, and everyone told me something different. I was walking in a huge circle arond the city center, and i felt absolutely ridiculous. Finally, i found a bus by walking about a mile in the direction of my destination. 5 more hours in a bus, and here i am.
Paz y Amor

Not bad cowboy,
sounds pretty incredible. There aren’t many people who could get so much from an opportunity like yours, and there aren’t a lot of chances to try. I’d say you’re a little lucky so far, but you’re relying a lot more on talent, honest friendliness, and an open mind.
There was a lot that i had wanted to write or tell to you right before you left, but its still in some word document as a draft, mid-sentence.
So fuck it, and rock on Deedy.
As our fire-fightin mentor Captain Jim Duddy once said about you to me
“It sure takes some marbles to go wanderin around those banana republics”

Man, I just read the “Yo no soy marinero” entry, and I remember that day at Crane Beach perfectly. I have the pictures hanging on my wall (& can send them if you want). I went to the beach last week with my German exchange students, and realized it had been a full year since I had been to any beach. My favorite thing about it, though, is that we were all throwing out our dreams, like, “Yeah, let’s take a motorcycle trip through Latin America!” And you are actually doing it! You don’t know how cool that is for a fantasy to come true like that.
I’ll keep checkin’ up on you. Keep the party going down there!!
