They got me working my ass off, Omar has turned out to be not so nice after all, he patronizes too much. Work is fun but hectic and the pay is shit. Enough to survive but not enough to return to Mexico City.
Miguel from San Cristobal shows up in town with a girl called Cecilia, she's something, we climb the top of the mountain together, it is an agonizing two hours up. Miguel jokes that we should have taken the elvator instead, or brought a wheelchair. At the top we play guitar and sing. The birds come out to listen and show off. I am feeling elated, maybe it is the height, but I think it's more than that. A true feeling of freedom comes over me as I sing out into the infinite abyss.
Insects, butterflies and birds fly around us while we all sing together.
