Julio Yuquilema: Rancho Durazno, Colorado

April 7, 2011

Orale ways, I met some Mexicans…their food is delicious and their dialect needless to sayways andale. (Did you get it or not? hehehe)
Listen brothers, how are you? Is it true they speak Chinese and not English here? Hehehe Tomorrow I will complete the week, and brothers and sisters, I do not understand anything, but at the same time I live with some crazy people, 3 in total, two women and one man.

One girl (28 years old) eats all raw vegetables (potatoes, squash, red and white onion, carrots, cabbage, etc…could she eat sheep? Rabbit? Or maybe guinea pig? Hehehe,  she eats meat and even weeds and that’s not a joke. I don’t think she will have to work hard to eat, hehehe.

The other girl (25 years old) is a dissident of the system, she did not study and won’t do it, because she says that it makes no sense and isn’t useful. SHE ALSO SAYS THAT MONEY COMPLICATES LIFE SO SHE DOES NOT HAVE ANY. Seriously she doesn’t.

The man (22 years old) is an Engineer in agro-ecology,  recently graduated and a professional Snow Boarder, He’s  never worked in the field and I don’t think he will formally follow his profession; he also wants a quiet life, without stress, away from the city. Sometimes he also eats weeds too. HE SAYS that he does not want to be another sheep in the system.

Ahhh I Also forgot about a recently married couple that does not live with us but we all work together. He is 37 years old a professional surfer and engineer in trees and something else. She (29 years old) is also a professional in marketing and communication. Together they left everything at the beach and the city respectively. Because they said that office work is stressful and bad for your health.

BUT, YOU KNOW WHAT THEY HAVE IN COMMON ALL THESE CRAZY PEOPLE, IS THAT THEY LOVE PLANTS, ANIMALS, THE COUNTRY AND THEY WANT PEACE, FREEDOM AND A FARM. What wonderful things! I am on Mars colorados, hehehe.

To complete the group a runa puruwa from Ecuador that does not speak English, who is more lost than anybody and whose expectations of seeing big and modern cities got lost in between the peaches, strawberries, broccoli, cabbage, the park, and a church that completes the town, hehehe.

Did you imagine how this adventure would be, colorados?? So what! I like it. I’ve found rarities here and I will surely learn.  Certainly, I know what a bad time my illegal Mexican friends pass here, sometimes I feel like one more of them. What sons of bitches the ones that put the words development and progress in our heads!

Until next time colorados.
