Life couldn't be so simple could it, of course she has a boyfriend who is in the military and leaves a big gun next to his bed, of course the town I'm in is filled with military personnel so I can't just go out on the street with her, of course we need to hide all the time, and of course its all very exciting.

When I'm not sneaking around with Vianey I hang out with Colgate and Elias, Juancho and Boody, we smoke and drink. Ixtepec reminds me of my hometown Penrith, a bunch of kids that drink beer and skate all day, like my old hangout 'the Mondo' only much bigger.



Elais invites us to check out the river. Vianey comes along, it's a long trek..



Elias says we only have to cross three rivers, but in fact we have to cross seven, in the end we reach a giant tree that gives a magnificient view of vast swamplands untouched by the cancer of man. We smoke some fat joints and head back in the darkness, we almost get lost and Elias gives us a good scare. We make it back, soaked, but in one piece.
