The Return of the Gringo
It's been almsot a year since I did any blogging or any type of journal of my activties.
So after a year of doing what I thought I should do at the time, now I am doing what I want to do, and I think I should do for my future.
I am once again in Monterrey, Mexico. This time not for a trip, but to stay for as long as I feel confortable and productive here.
Now a week has passed since I first arrived.
The past Sunday I arrived early in the morning. My great friend Alvaro (aka Padrino) was waiting at the bus station for me. He stood at the front of the bus with a sign that said "Bienvenido a Casa Wey!" (Welcome Home Dude!.) But besides that I was disappointed because my two other good friends in Monterrey, knows as Guns and Kasasa, had gone on a trip to Tampico that weekend. So, I arrived at Padrino's house and slept a while. Then I got up and Padrino took me to run some errands of mine and of his. After some of those were down we stopped at a bar called La Bar K (La Barca.)
I ordered a giant Indio beer, because I hadn't had that beer in a long time. So, I was drinking it nice a relaxed when Padrino started rushing me. He said he still had to go get a jackhammer for his business from a wearhouse and so we had to hurry. So I did.
Then we pulled up to a small wearhouse and he went in. After 5 minutes he called out for me to come help him. I went in to find Kasasa, GUns and another friend Magda sitting there. It was a surprise party! They never went to Tampico!!
