It is a regular day in a foreign country that you don't know. You don't know how or when it happened, but you know you need to continue the journey. It's the beginning of August and all you see is [[paisaje verde]]. It is different from where you are from since you lived your whole life in a [[ciudad]]. You are still trying to figure it out if the whole trip is real or it's just a [[sueño]].
The view of the landscape is green full of big pine threes. Big houses made of wood. A clean atmosphere. The first thing you notice is the difference on the highways. Every highway exit gives you information about the nearest town. You can see McDonalds, Kohl's, BP gas-station. A different metric system in which you are still figuring out how many kilometers are in a mile.
It seems like there is no polution in the air. Fresh...clean...air.
It really amazes you the organization and clean environment that in your hometown doesn't exist.
[[Just arrived]]
Guadalajara is a city full of joy in the state of Jalisco, Mexico. It is recognized as the land of wet soil. Everything that represents Mexico is made in Guadalajara. Tequila, mariachi and they Mexican cowboys called charros are all from Guadalajara. Guadalajara is called as well as La Perla Tapatia; the second biggest city in Mexico.
[[Just arrived]]
Everything starts when you know you are moving from your hometown.
Do you want to go?
[[yes]]
[[no]]
You arrived to a new house which has a huge garden and a three car garage. The house is [[bastante amplia]].Every person in the neighborhood is friendly and waves at you every time they see you. Once you are settled in you go and look around the [[pueblo]].
Too bad, unfortunately you can't take care of yourself in your hometown. With no income and no insurance; unfortunately you still have to go.
[[sueño]]
A ranch style home with a basement. The capacity of the house is of 6 rooms, a basement, a big dining-room, a round living-room with a fireplace, four full bathroom, and a kitchen with an island in the middle.
[[yes]]
The town is an hour and a half away from the city. It is a small town called Riverlong. There are 2000 people living in the town where everyone knows everybody. The place has an old bank called First Bank made in 1955. It has three gas stations apparently owned by the same person but different brands. There is a couple [[cantinas]] in the downtown area. The town hall is right next to the [[plaza]] and the police department. There is also two grocery stores right in front of each other. It is said that the stores are owned by two brothers who constantly fight with each other.
There are two bars in downtown. The first bar is called The Peebs, it is the oldest bar in town. It is popular among older people. The bartender is in his 60s named Louie. He is a war veteran who fought in the Vietnam War. He opened the bar saving money from all the minimum wage jobs that he worked. The second bar is called Hideout, an underground bar which is known to sell to minors. It is the hot spot on weekends among the millennials.
Which bar do you want to go?
[[The Peebs]]
[[Hideout]]
The plaza is 800 feet square long surrounded by water. The villagers built a canal from the closest river to the plaza. There are benches and trees inside the plaza for people to enjoy. There is also a gazebo in the middle of the plaza for music bands to play in every festival. On top of the gazebo there is a large bell that is used every independence day by the mayor. There is also a large garden full of roses surrounding a big statue of the town's founder.
[[pueblo]]
You enter to the bar and Louie welcomes you with what do you want to drink kid?
You order a tequila and coke. Louie looks at you and asks for you I.D. You search in your pockets and you see that you didn't bring your passport with you. The only identification form you have is your Mexican driver's license that doesn't say your age.
Even though you are not a minor unfortunately Louie is not the friendliest bartender and kicks you out of the bar.
[[cantinas]]
You arrived to the Hideout and the first impression is the ambience of the place. It is a bar-lounge, there are a few lights just enough to see where you are going. There are small tall tables with leather seats, and a full bar with all the popular brands; top shelf and rail. You see the bartender and you order your drink. The bartender is a young Caucasian girl with blonde hair and blue eyes. She is about 4'11 feet tall wearing a black Express shirt and a white skirt. As you receive your drink you ask for her name, she tells you her name is [[Renee]].
As you get to know Renee and with a few drinks taken, she convinces you to take on an [[aventura]].
Renee is a 22 year old girl who lives two hours away from the town. She moved to the town when she was 12 years old. She studies in a private school to become a paralegal. She has been working in Hideout for a year. She enjoys traveling around the world during summer. Her favorite cocktail is cosmopolitan. She enjoys watching sports and loves watching any police related shows. Her favorite music is country and rock.
[[Hideout]]
It's morning and Renee is waiting for you outside your door. You agreed to go on an adventure with her to Europe. The tickets were bought last night while you were drunk flirting with her. The plan is go around Europe [[de mochilazo]].
Remember its the middle of August so you still have time to have an adventure before classes start.
You grab your backpack and just took enough clothes and basic needs to survive a few weeks. You don't have a lot of money, just enough for the tickets. Once in Europe, you will be asking people for rides and rely on luck.
You are running late to the airport [[hace mucho calor]]. You arrived late to the airport. There is a huge line waiting to register their luggage. You tried to register your tickets with the machines but your tickets don't match your passport since you both wrote your names drunk.Therefore, you have to wait in line for the assistance to help you out. After 45 minutes you arrived just in time to [[abordar el avion]].
It is a Monday afternoon with 88 degrees weather. The cab has stopped because of the traffic, the air conditioner is not working and you are sweating. It feels like you are inside an oven roasting slowly like a chicken. The car has black leather seats which makes is worse for the temperature.
[[de mochilazo]]
Calm down, relax, you made it. Now the best thing you can do is talk to Renee. Get to know her.
While you are talking to Renee, the airplane starts moving. The captain start talking and leaves a [[mensaje]] to the passengers.
Right when you hear the message your heart stops for a minute. That wasn't part of the plan, you don't know what to do. Maybe it was a mistake, maybe you over heard.You stop one of the flying attendants and ask her if the captain said by mistake El Cairo, Egypt.
You know there is nothing you can do to stop the plane. The best thing to do is just arrive to [[Egipto]] and talk to someone from American Airlines.
"Attention passengers of the flight aa3920, thanks for choosing American Airlines. Our final destination would be reach in 12 hours and 15 minutes with destination to El Cairo, Egypt. The sky is clear and the plane will reach 25,000 feet above sea level. The hour expected to arrive will be 8:15 a.m.local time. Thank you for choosing American Airlines and enjoy your flight."
[[abordar el avion]]
It is 8:00 a.m. in a beautiful morning in Egypt. From the airplane you can see the amazing view of Egypt. You see from far away the pyramids and the never ending desert. You arrived to the airport and after talking to Renee you guys decided to stay in Egypt. You are waiting for a taxi outside the airport. Suddenly, a man runs right next to you and takes your bag packs.
As soon as you see him you ran and [[lo persigues]]. All your money and passports are in those bags.
You run behind him, Renee stayed at the airport. He run towards the city and you don't stop for any second. He runs in and out of stores, houses, and markets. You asked for help but no one even listens. The man runs right to an alley. You see your chance to finally catch up with the guy. Once you enter to the alley, you see that it's dark and a dead end. You carefully look for him and get close to the end. Slowly get closer and then you hear the click of a gun behind your head.
You turn around slowly, you see the guy pointing the gun right in your face. Next thing he says is: bad choice my friend. Any last words?
You close your eyes and then[[...]]
"Do you remember the
21st night of September?
Love was changing the minds of pretenders
While chasing the clouds away"
Wake up.... (knocks on the door) wake up, you are going late for school.
