Nigel and I intrepidly stepped forwards – to say that the heat hit us like a wall would be an understatement, my glasses steamed up and their metal frames almost burnt me - I had to leave them at the entrance. A slightly fuzzy view however did not perturb my sense of awe. I was dumbstruck. A torrent of sweat streamed from my head, my energy was being sucked away, and my breathing became heavy. The view was enthralling, my eyes led me forwards but my body wanted to retreat. I was dwarfed by a forest of giant gypsum crystals, some up to 12 metres long - the largest crystals ever discovered, some estimated to weigh as much as 55 tonnes.

well, our lunch. today, during a HELLISH DAY OUTSIDE IN THE SUN THAT GAVE ME A HEADACHE I AM STILL FEELING, we all went out to lunch. below, you have our lunch. i swear, i’m tempted to make a daily post dedicated to my lunch. i love food that freaking much ;__;

So tonight is my last night in California for a month! Tomorrow I will be flying to Morelia to spend part of the summer with my family, some of whom I have not met, and others who met me when I was 1 year old :) Pray for me and for the airplane because I am completely afraid of heights!! Anyhow, I will still try to update from Mexico as often as possible. Life is sweet and my Jesus is so good! Goodbye California!

Mexico: Impunity and Profits

“If you want to know one of the biggest causes of death in Mexico, it’s the American drug prohibition.” - Charles Bowden, author of Murder City 

Al Jazeera English’s Fault Lines examines the drug war in Ciudad Juárez and asks how human life there came to be worth so much less than the drugs being trafficked through. 

In Ciudad Juárez alone, more than 8,000 have been killed and 230,000 displaced since Calderón launched his war on the cartels in 2006, reports Fault Lines.

Although a few of the shots filmed at the El Pastor’s clinic seemed unnecessary, if not exploitive, this humanistic look at Ciudad Juárez as a city caught in the middle of treaties and turf wars is worth a look.

Bueno, las cosas cada vez se ven mucho mejor! :D Hoy le pregunte a mi papa si nos iba dejar ir a Mexico y me dijo que mañana iba ver cuanto dinero tenia en el banco para apartar los boletos! Y nos dijo a mi hermana y a mi que hablaramos con mi mama para ver que pensaba sobre dejarnos ir. Ella sabe lo que se siente tener una relacion a distancia, pues mis papas llevaron una durante 5 años. Asi que ella entiende lo que siento por que no puedo estar alla.

Me estoy haciendo tantas ilusiones! Por presiento que si vamos a ir!!! Pero aun no quiero emocionarme! Tengo miedo que al final me digan que no se va poder…

Ojala y todo salga bien para volver a estar con mi familia y sobre todo con mi amor Isaac! :D

I can see my face in the video. Now I undestand why the photographer took us a lot of photos.
