The Veracruz You Do Not Know

Can't Post | Private Reply

You folks want to speak of Veracuz but listen to this.

Veracruz is a huge Mexican state not simply a plaza in a decadent urban regenerated ex-cesspool with fine music and dancing and great food. It is both a mountain and a seafront place. The tallest mountain in all of Mexico is Mount Orizaba in Veracruz State and the most desolate sea level oill exploitative PEMEX hell hole is there as well and the state is not simply swamplands and snow covered volcanoes and fecund valleys growing everything from coffee to sugar cane and pineapples but a place of extraordinary beauty. A fine place not simply given over to dancing and rum and dark rich coffee but also a place of ugly towns and unrelentant poverty. If you do not overblow your expectations here you will discover great beauty but if you expect more than you will find here you will leave disappointed. Just like the rest of the planet.

There is something unsettling to Dawg about this need to wallpaper over the dismal universe that seems to be exacerbated by the introduction of northern malcontents to the tropics. A turd is still a turd no matter how you describe it but a turd is also illustrative of all that is wholesome about life here and everywhere. Learn to live with it..

Whhaattt???? ¿¿¿Que dijo???
Bubba The Hound Dog...I agree with you since Xalapa has been my home for the past 37 years. You can see life here through rose colored glasses, and yes, the poverty in every sense of the word can be totally disheartening, but in general the good Lord has been extremely generous letting me live here all these years.(¿Que dijo?). Enough rambling on my part.
Just come down and experience this part of México, and each one can make up their own mind.
¡Portense mal y cuidense bien, sin mirar a quien!
