Sunday, July 31

I get to Juchitan and call Kleiver, he meets me at the bus depot and we catch a bus to his windy pueblo. 'La Ventosa' or 'The Windy', where winds frequently reach up to 200km/h.

There's a group of small kids who all want to know who I am and where I'm from, we hang out, I play the guitar and they all sing together, I take some photos and go to a basketball game to watch Klievers brother play. The kids surround me and ask more about my life. "What do you do in Australia?", "Do you really have Kangaroos?", "Can you catch a bus to Australia?", "Is Australia really far away?", "Can you swim there?!", It's completely beyond them how far I really live, even with a map they can't seem to understand the dimensions since all they've known in their whole lives is their pueblo.



My whole body aches, I don't know if its from the bus or the sex, and the kids dont stop asking questions. Only had 3 hours sleep and I'm hell beat. Alicia is in my mind, I ask about hitching a ride out but I'm told it's not very likely, though I can try the petrol pump.
