Injured and moving forward
?? Being in bed for a little over 3 months, with a broken ankle and fibula, eight and then nine nails that tried to weld broken bones in my right leg … my mind kept plotting the way to get to my destination, the same one that haunted me since I was little in the head … BRAZIL ..!
?? Estando en cama algo más de 3 meses, con tobillo y peroné roto, ocho y luego nueve clavos que trataban de soldar huesos rotos en mi pierna derecha… mi mente seguía maquinando la forma de llegar a mi destino, el mismo que desde pequeño me rondaba en la cabeza… BRASIL..!
?? At that time I was in my hometown of Cuenca – Ecuador, recovering from my first attempt at a trip, where just, less than two hours from my home, I had had an accident due to my inexperience in driving a motorcycle. But I was still all determined to make that trip, of which I had no idea how to organize it, much less on a motorcycle since I have no idea of handling or mechanics … and well everything sounded against
?? Para ese entonces estaba en mi ciudad de origen Cuenca – Ecuador, recuperándome de mi primer intento de viaje donde apenas, a menos de dos horas de mi casa me había accidentado por mi inexperiencia de manejo en moto. Pero yo seguía todo decidido a hacer ese viaje, del que no tenía idea alguna de cómo organizarlo y mucho menos en moto ya que no tengo idea de manejo ni mecánica… y bueno todo sonaba en contra
Socializing it with my acquaintances
?? Family, friends and those who knew about my crazy idea, they no longer worried, nor paid attention to me when I wanted to talk about the trip since they said if it arrives in Peru (250 km approx) if it does not kill itself on the way, it returns to home.
?? Familia, amigos y los que conocían de mi loca idea, ya no se preocupaban, ni me prestaban atención cuando quería hablar del tema ya que ellos decían si llega a Perú (a 250 km aprox ) si no se mata en el camino, se regresa a casa.
A quick visit with the doctor
?? Until the day set in my head arrived, one Thursday I had a last medical appointment where the Doctor asked me to come back in two months to remove the nails and I did internal calculations where i said mmm in two months I will be back.
?? Hasta que llego el día fijado en mi cabeza, un jueves tenía una última cita médica donde el Doctor me pedía acercarme en dos meses para retirarme los clavos y yo hacía internamente cálculos donde decía mmm en dos meses ya estaré de regreso.
A Reality Check
?? And that Friday I left with everything i thought necessary, i had had enough time to study all the data, such as the price of gasoline by country, how many km are betwen gas station, how many km did i have to drive daily, where would i stay each night, the budget to spend per day, with all the points marked on my mind map.
?? Y ese viernes salía con todo lo que pensaba necesario, había tenido tiempo suficiente para estudiar todos los datos, como, el precio de la gasolina por país, cada cuantos km hay una estación de servicio, cuantos km tenía que conducir a diario, donde pasaría cada noche, el presupuesto a gastar por día, con todos los puntos marcados en mi mapa mental.
Who am I?
?? I am Pelu Viajero, I will continue to tell you how I wrote my own story….
?? Soy Pelu viajero, te seguire contando como fue que escribí mi propia historia ….
My story begins
?? And it was in Nazca Peru, where all the data, routes and information of my trip that I had studied and memorized for months, I threw away and there the trip began .. !!
?? Y fue en Nazca Perú, donde todos los datos, rutas e información de mi viaje que había estudiado y memorizado durante meses, tire a la basura y ahí comenzó el viaje ..!!
