The Performers 2010 end of season Mexico Tour
Ahhh Mazatlan-
Culiacan-
Cosas no se buenas no?
El proBlema es contigo
Quien es el major alcade
Aguascalientes
Leon
Cuernavaca
Guadaljara
The beaches are a great sight. There are waves and the local surfers
are chill, along the main waterfront there are at least a dozen closed
clubs and bars and I wonder if they forced them out to promote tourist
business more toward the point alongside EL CID...
This was where we heard from the representative that the children or
families there are not interested in learning English!
Strange as they are so close to the USofA and tourism is or could be a big bonus for the city. If your interested in CHEAP HOLIDAYS click on the above photo and register to qualify now!
It's been a bit wierd seeing the papers and seeing the trail of mal
onda in the same areas we have been through. We've met nothing but
great people along the way.
In Queretaro, from Javier we learned about some of the legends about
the cemetary up on the magnetic mountain overlooking the city where
the cars can even roll UPHILL on their own! The taxista who tells of
the malonda and horror stories regarding the carteles in the north
where we were headed....
(you can listen to the stories at www.audioboo.fm/friendsperform) or
check out the video of the cities history at www.blogspot.com/friendsoftheperformers
Obregon nothing much to report but in
Chihuahua well the same really, it is quite wild but we were there
only one day and did nothing but bought excellent cowboy boots!
Morelia is home to one of the bigger cartel families and is reputed to
have strong ties to the community with large donations going to
schools and local government (say no more) it's a beautiful and v old
city with roots going back to the first JUNTAS
Torreon there was a shootout and the streets were deserted, the
central plaza has been closed for more than a year and according to
the cool arty bar opposite, the deserted site it still has urban myths
of gold on the site and tunnels for the president as well as others
but the locals are just fed up with all the crap. I think it was here
where a teacher recanted the story of a student who had noticed she
had three different cars (Audi, BMW etc), but none of the teachers
knew what the students did; that she was the daughter of one of the
carteleros (my word, like cartenero but with more cash) but she and
her brother were expelled for inappropriate behaviour, a short time
later the office was bombed and burntout.
Saltillo is a bit more chill because the carteles families are all
based there, so it's mostly the cities eitherside that get the flak,
unfortunately things have been so bad in the last four years that the
locals cannot make the drive to Mazatlan for beach holidays as they
WILL be robbed, obviously people are starting to leave which is a
saying alot as Mexicans are very staunch and family orientated, the
ones that can afford to move the whole family are the ones with money
as for 400-500 thousand USD will get you a green card as an investor.
I cannot help but wonder if this instability is being orchestrated to
get money flowing to the USofA, they have long been supplying
munitions to Mexico....and Colombia...and Honduras, Nicaragua....etc,
maybe we will see an appearance of the "AMERO" currency very shortly
unless the ZEITGEIST Movement takes effect which I would prefer to see
much more than the so-called NEW WORLD ORDER.
Monterrey has one of the most spectacularly beautiful entrances I've
seen with the gigantic sierras cradeling the city, again it's a shame
that the unrest has hindered the reconstruction and further devlopment
of this city which has stalled since the hurricane hit.
Reynosa 1799- a great theatre although the experimental theatre where
we played was experimenting with iki ban camerines... Meaning they
were just empty rooms
San Luis Potosoi- another brilliant sunset
(check out my new poem at http://bambazonke88.blogspot.com/2011/02/road-to-potosoi.html

Last three shows for the 2010 season!
