Mientras tanto, Antonio haciendo de las suyas por el pueblo. Bueno, esta vez fue pura investigación y haciendo conexiones con los artesanos que poco a poco se van abriendo más.
It’s been said that you haven’t been in this country for real until you get stunk by a scorpion. There it goes. After being close to that a few times last year, but who knows how I got away from it, last night, after a very like Big Brother session in the house, and having tasted the most delicious mango pie cooked by Chef Carlos, sitting by the fire, it was my time. It seemed that the garlic clove that I had to eat, the lime and the mud were going to keep me from having the shots. We were wrong. After a while of just feeling this itchy feeling in my elbow, I started to feel the symptoms of the poison. Itchy nose, and my throat closing up….we didn’t think about it twice and rush to the mini hospital in San Pancho, the town next to Sayulita. So, a bit of IV, a couple of shots (one wasn’t enough, that sucker, it was like revenge), an hour under observation, and byebye. I woke up this morning with half of my left hand asleep, and it’s still like that, although I hope that not for much longer. Meanwhile, typing is a bit difficult, although I can still hold my beers. Don’t worry mom, it’s ok.
Meanwhile, Antonio was in town doing some research and connections with the artisans that little by little are opening up more and more and finally telling us what they feel and what they think about what being an “artesano” means.
