Journey Proves Inspirational! Jan. 7, 1987 We left El Paso, Texas at 8:00 am. Three buses and seven hours later we finally arrived in Cuathemoc, Mexico. The mountains were “fantastico.” I fantasized being on a horse and riding the range. I have noticed a mixture of cultures here, sort of a modern Mexican- American collage. The culture is definitely Mexican, but there are strong trades of American influences. For example, many people here still use a horse and buggy for transportation, although those who can afford cars do drive them. Visiting Mexico is like being in limbo, somewhere between the past and present. Coca-Cola and Ford products are popular here. I wonder if they give free Coke with a test drive? Jan. 10, 1987 We took a forty-five minute ride further up into the mountains, to the co-operative farm land. We experienced life as it was one hundred years ago. Riding horseback, we tried to corral a horse. We walked one fourth of a mile down a canyon to get drinking water, and we cooked our dinner over an open pit. I think we would make excellent mountain men and women. Jan. 11, 1987 We went to the Colonia this morning to celebrate mass with the villagers. It was cold. Afterwards we sang American and Mexican hymns with the children. We then walked to the neighborhood soc- cer field. Dividing the teams into an even number of girls and boys, we engaged in some serious competition. To be truthful, I think we all should try out for Avila’s soccer team next season. Jan. 13, 1987 Today is our last day in Cuathemoc. “Boo-Hoo,” We leave tomor- row. After breakfast and morning prayer we discussed our stay in Mexico. The rest of the day was spent gathering final glimpses of Cuathemoc and its people.
