Yorch Place

I think the best college tradition ever is the so-called "Road trip" a trip with your friends with little or no money, to any kind of places... As a good college guy I practice it as much as possible ($$) when we are a student we call ourselves studenhunger (estudihambre) since you suffer hunger because you spent great percentage of your money in two things, school books and material (copies, coffee, library fees and stuff) and in parties (beer and chips), that is why we suffer hunger.

As a student I had road trips to several places:

-Ixtapa (beach)
-Playa Azul a beach (well we thought it was playa azul, but we are not certain, since we arrive by accident, we where lost)
-Los Azufres (forest, cabins, scary stories, crazy using mask killer... well not all of that)
-Morelia (colonial town)
-Patzcuaro (famous for it's day of the dead party... and very cold)
-Bernal (small town with the third biggest rock on earth)
-Tequisquiapan (small town with lots of water parks)
-Colon (small town with nothing to do... so bored)
-Amealco (small town with forest and extremly cold)

In all but two of those trips I was the official driver, since I am the one with a car of it's own and the one with the more experience in driving, and never crashing a car... well not a big crash.

For the first time we are no longer students, and we no longer suffer for the lack of money... not so much suffering... so we are going to do the first roadtrip by plane, so it will be called the first plane trip for the friends... I'm doing it with my friends from High school who went to the same college as me, and some college friends to the colonial-beach-port town of Veracruz located in jungle, so we are making a trip with all the characteristics of the previous trips, forest (jungle actually), beach and colonial.

Tomorrow is D day... super anxious to travel... it will be only a weekend, just like in college.

Do you remember FRIENDS!, the most amazing sitcom show ever, with Chandler, Joey, Monica, etc. In several episodes we watch Joey performing in a small Broadway theater several weird plays... well I think every town has his own Joey and the small theaters, little more than a week ago I went to "El Teatrito" a small theater in Queretaro, translated means "Little Theater", and it is, at much it can provide seats for 25 people, the play was a weird play named "Si te quiero pero me estorbas", translated is "I love you but you hinder me" It was about witchcraft, politics, immigration and native mexicans... It is a comedy, I laughed... but is not a great play, neither great actors... But it was affordable, $10.00usd to see them, and the lobby of the theater, which measures at most 4x2 metres was really pretty, and they offer great coffe and sandwiches.

Theater activity in Queretaro is abundant, but many of it kind of amateur, college theater, and weird artistic theater (the kind of theater nobody understand but pretend to, to look really savy)

After more than a year I made contact with a good friend who move out to Italy to study a master degree, so he says, and to be with his italian girlfriend (the real reason). Good to know he is fine, also today I saw two old friends from college which I haven't seen for more than a year, it is quite nice to have contact with my friends, some of them graduate from college before me, and some later, and some are still in college, like a girl friend which I last saw her in agust 2005, and by January 2006 she was married, love at first sight (not pregnat).

If you think about it, you can lost contact with many many many people without even realice it... but is good that internet exist nowadays, so you can mail them and reconnect once more.
