Aca Fest 2006 and Oaxaca

To keep up with tradition, the boys and I went for our yearly trip to Acapulco. Not everyone could make it this time because of tight schedules and other things, but in the end the right and completely wrong mix of people ended up going. The right mix involved Los Compadres, and the wrong was a couple unknown dudes and girls that showed up invited by someone else who didn't quite spoil the trip, but where seconds away from really fucking it up. Besides that, this trip was a huge blast and it was just insane. So many things happened in such a short time, and for some reason I realized a bunch of things all of a sudden. One truth after another. A bit shocking and a bit of a downer, but I'm glad it finally happened. Que pedo con la cantidad de netas que me cayeron de madrazo! Eran cosas que yo ya sabía pero que de una manera u otra siempre traté de evadir, y no se por qué.

On Friday morning I flew from Acapulco to Oaxaca to meet my parents there and spend the weekend there, and attend a baptizement (or however you call that) of my mom's boss' kid. I wasn't exactly thrilled about going for that, but it was AWESOME. It was a traditional Oaxacan event, with lots of folk dancing, local food, great music and good drinks. And I don't know what is it about Oaxaca. It really is a magical place. So beautiful, so mysterious and so diverse.
