Last day in Mexico…

Its twelve o’clock midnight, the day is finally over; bus ride, walking down a hill, up the stairs, shopping, two movies in a row, cold showers and two pesos for a small uncomfortable stop at the “W.C” … its time to go home!!

This is by far my favorite vacations; it has been a life changing experience. I have learned so much about myself; the way I “role” and interact with others. Here I am, facing my fear of being alone, fear to the unknown, to failure… I go back home with fourteen wonderful friends, I still don’t know how tomorrow looks like but one thing I know now…I can fly!!

As I go through life I found myself wondering the whys and when and now, I slowly see my life making more and more sense as it goes. I guess Im still on my way to reach my dreams, but now… I’m taking a different route. I am a getting done person, but this trip has been a great opportunity to put my operating system on “hibernation” mode and allow myself to be amazed by the smell of life. I am no longer in a rush; the world can keep its pace but as for me… Im busy pursuing the ultimate purpose of my life one day at a time.

We have about thirty hours of travel ahead of us… it is 12:20pm in Mexico City….
