Torreón, 2/11/2007
Dear joel,
I must confess a little sin of trip: I went to Mexico without a camera . Trusting my unfailing Olympus, I let the days until I tried it two days before getting on the avióny - insert expression here colorful - the zoom was not working.
Consequently, at least for my part, no photos of the first moment in which, finally, we could sit down to continue our meeting with the Eternal coming to breakfast on November 2 as a dropper, as the amount of sleep they'd had each group (men less).
Torreón, our target of three days, two weeks ago turned 100 years to receive-officially-town nomenclature , deserved special attention. This city is part of the "Comarca Laguna" in obedience to the nearby lakes, natural monuments of Mexico and the cercaníaa cities like Gomez Palacio and Lerdo, together called "Laguna Region."
I can tell you that since last night, is revealed as a broad and friendly, without skyscrapers that defy the eye. In the cafeteria of the hotel was the site of the first meeting with Mexican gastronomic traditions: the corn tortilla, hard, sand-colored, cooked on a griddle called comal, similar. I tell my colleagues that this is the staple food of Mexicans, whose price fair (or unfair) depends on the power of many. He was accompanied by Chile (which I will for now), frijoles (beans), black, besides the perennial cereal with milk and fresh fruit. Living in Venezuela, a tortilla instead of corn bread, cheese and ham instead of chile and tortillas, as he knew, would probably be relegated to a chain restaurant or Mexican cuisine.
---- How then to explain the environment for which I am walking? Could start with a common element among travelers and diplomats: the exchange of gifts or Package delivery. Are pieces from different worlds, mimetic, in a single portrait. As a result, coffee evenings Eva and Victor will be guarded by the statue of Venezuelan petroglyphs and pianist who can not be shot by Luis Jaime-Cortez and Carlos Fuentes transparent region will accompan Attachment of "Lady", Maria Felix in the film Dona Barbara.
We have all received an additional gift from the bride and groom: a series of books and pamphlets that will allow us to decipher easy to Torreon. Account the material given by Victor that this city was named after the English first arrived to these latitudes. " As for her local poetry, the local bard Saul Rosales defined in the same text as "Polymorphic multánime."
Such descriptions are useful
. There are multiple ways and times to around the Plaza de Armas: buildings that are identified with the beginning of the twentieth century's most sculptures of cows with pre-Hispanic themes brightly shining through the facade and futuristic Arocena Museum.
A rhythm makes us itch shoes: There is a large public karaoke to the highest bidder invited to sing a melody in the region. Apart from the spectators, other Harriers made morning life: the shoemakers, the transit tax in his smart uniform Morelos Avenue, the pedestrian anonymous. In addition to the centennial city dwellers, people calmly held the day of the year that will never work: the Friday after All Saints Day. ------
The title gave us Eva and Victor: tram Voices: poetry shows La Laguna, was accompanied by two postcards:
1) black and white photography, dated September 9, 1913 . A row of people cross a suspension bridge, apparently of iron. The description says: "Another of the bridges linking the public and communicated Laguna, was the electric streetcar. His tour included the cities of Torreon, Gomez Palacio and Lerdo.
2) No Date black and white. "Guayule is a plant native to northern Mexico and was used for the production of rubber. Miller's lens captured the workers packing the guayule American company.
Footprints of history, signs for tours for next time. In the book, on page 122, I found my mission for today:
