Well before we came to Mexico. But in San Miguel horses come and go on a daily basis, which brought things to a sort of fever pitch. </p> +<p>While finding a horse in San Miguel is easy, finding one to ride is more challenging. There’s plenty of tourist outfits in town that do horseback rides just like <a href="/jrnl/2018/11/lets-go-ride">the ATV ride I did</a>, but none of them have much in the way of kid-friendly riding options. After a few months of stalling, a lot of hemming and hawing on my part, Corrinne’s parents’ friend, who owns a ranch outside of town, heard about our kids and invited them out to go riding.</p> +<p>That’s how we ended up in the campo with the girls riding horses for the first time.

Well before we came to Mexico. But in San Miguel horses come and go on a daily basis, which brought things to a sort of fever pitch.
+
+While finding a horse in San Miguel is easy, finding one to ride is more challenging. There's plenty of tourist outfits in town that do horseback rides just like [the ATV ride I did](/jrnl/2018/11/lets-go-ride), but none of them have much in the way of kid-friendly riding options. After a few months of stalling, a lot of hemming and hawing on my part, Corrinne's parents' friend, who owns a ranch outside of town, heard about our kids and invited them out to go riding.
+
+That's how we ended up in the campo with the girls riding horses for the first time. Elliott was not interested.

+
+The ranch hands brought out some wonderfully gentle horses that seemed content to walk in circles in exchange for the occasional carrot.
+
+While Olivia's horse was completely sedate with a rider on her back, she had a whole smiley routine she pulled out in the stable to get attention and more carrots. It worked very well on us. Who knew horses could smile?

+I didn't do any riding, but I did make a friend.

+The campo is a world apart from the life we know in San Miguel. It's been hot lately in the city, but when you get out of the concrete canyons of the city streets there's a nice steady breeze that blows through and keeps things cool, if a little dusty. Life out here has a different rhythm, a different pace. Sitting on the bus back into town I couldn't help thinking that I really need to get out and see more of Mexico, less of the city. diff --git a/bak/oldluxpages/jrnlold/2019/04/koyaanisqatsi.html b/bak/oldluxpages/jrnlold/2019/04/koyaanisqatsi.html new file mode 100644 index 0000000..b355ce4 --- /dev/null +++ b/bak/oldluxpages/jrnlold/2019/04/koyaanisqatsi.html @@ -0,0 +1,620 @@ +<!DOCTYPE html> +<html +class="detail single" dir="ltr" lang="en-US"> + +<head> + <title>Koyaanisqatsi - by Scott Gilbertson</title> + <meta charset="utf-8"> + <meta http-equiv="x-ua-compatible" content="ie=edge"> + <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1"> + <meta name="description" + content="Puppets, dancing shadows and mesquite trees"> + <meta name="author" content="Scott Gilbertson"> + <link rel="alternate" + type="application/rss+xml" + title="Luxagraf RSS feed" + href="https://luxagraf.net/rss/"> + <link rel="stylesheet" + href="/media/screenv9.css" + media="screen"> + <link rel="stylesheet" href="/media/print.css" media="print" title="print" /> + <link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" type="image/x-icon"> + <link rel="manifest" href="/manifest.json" /> + <link rel="dns-prefetch" href="https://stats.luxagraf.net"> + + <link rel="canonical" href="https://luxagraf.net/jrnl/2019/04/koyaanisqatsi" /> + <meta name="ICBM" content="20.905460325770747, -100.78361374953317" /> + <meta name="geo.position" content="20.905460325770747;

One of the huge mesquites plays host to a towering tree house and there's plenty of open space to let the kids roam.

+
+Prior to coming down here I thought of mesquite trees as smallish shrubs that occasionally, with the right blend of soil, water and light, sometimes make it to tree status. In the United States that's a fair characterization. Our mesquite are not big trees. Here they soar like oaks.
+
+I don't know if perhaps the trees here are a different species or if they just like it better down south. Whatever the case, the mesquite down here can grow into huge canopies of green that can shade you from even the intensity of the midday Mexican sun
+
+The midday Mexican sun has become more intense lately. The dry season stretches its legs and lays down across the land, pulling a blanket of dusty haze over it. I don't know where it comes from, I don't even know what it is, perhaps it's the wind out on the plains kicking up dust. Perhaps it's smog drifting up from Mexico City. Perhaps its the endless construction in town. Whatever the case it's bad enough to burn the eyes and lungs some days and anything we leave outside soon has a thin coat of dust on it.
+
+Between the dust, the sun, and work I've been spending more time around the house, indoors even, than I have in years. I don't like it. We get by, we have fun. Elliott and I try to get outside on the roof in the afternoons.

+
+Still, there have been days where I've felt like I was living in some taco-filled version of Plato's cave, watching the shadows on the walls all day. I go up to the roof sometimes after the kids are in bed and try to feel like I'm getting out into the light, but it's usually just leaving.
+
+<img src="images/2019/2019-04-08_194625_around-umaran.jpg" id="image-1975" class="picwide" />
+
+I want open space, clear air, room to roam, a horizon to stare at, silence to listen in, rain to fall, but it never does, there will be no rain for at least another month, possibly more.
+
+Corrinne and the kids get out more than I do thankfully. I get to look at the pictures, just like you. One day they went to the toy museum in town.

+
+It looked like fun, but what I enjoyed far more than I would have enjoyed the musem was seeing the kids come home and start making their own toys out of whatever we had lying around. One evening I walked down to the tienda and bought them corn husks which they used to build not just corn husk dolls but whole families with houses, canoes, tikinagans, birchbark houses, and more.

If you want to pin it down more than that you're not Mexican. There is no pinning down time here. That's one of the things you should leave at home if you ever come. Here time is vast and endless you must make yourself at home in it.
+
+The first of the public events was around Palm Sunday, which the locals celebrate with plenty of decorations and paletas, which get handed out to just about anyone who will take one. The paletas, melting in a increasingly intense dry season sun, represent the tears of Mary mixed with, um, fruit. The kids loved it anyway.

+
+San Miguel has its own little special little tradition on Good Friday, which involves papier mâché figures called Judases. They are not, however, limited to figures of Judas. Everything is Mexico is layered and goes far below what things appear to be, so I won't pretend to know who the figures represented, but local political figures and other controversial people are common targets.
+
+The puppets get wrapped in firecrackers with one big one inside. They're strung up on a horizontal line and lit up. The fireworks cause the figures to spin for a bit and bam, the big one blows them apart. And it really blows them apart. Even for here this was a substantial blast that hurt your ears if you were at all close.

+Domingo de Pascua as Easter Sunday is known around here, doesn't have any of the non-religious associations it does in the states. I didn't see any Easter Bunny or chocolate eggs. It's a day people go to Mass and celebrate with their families. We dyed some eggs anyway.

+We also found some good pork belly tacos for lunch. I've never understood it, but something about travel causes you to find more and more things you like the closer and closer you get to leaving a place.
