For a lot of reasons, I will be on the road for a good chunk of June and possibly July. I know I will be going to LA Pride, and I decided that I will celebrate what would have been Rick's 76th birthday by going to Tijuana Pride. After that, who knows. I have not heard any plans about San Miguel de Allende. I also think that depending on the timing I just may go to Guatemala.
Since I started dating the Amante, Guatemala has been on my bucket list. I want to see where he grew up, and maybe get some of the insights about him I never got when he was alive.
One thing I do know was that he was making sure I was being realistic about the whole thing. That started when he gave me the news that it looked like ultimately he would be deported due to myriad immigration issues. I mentioned that when I came up for air, I would make it a point to visit him.
A few days later, I mentioned to him that Guatemala will not let me drive there on my California drivers license without an International Driving Permit accompanying it. You can get it at your friendly, neighborhood AAA office for $15.00. He realized that I was serious about it and asked the important question.
"Could you handle being in a place where they killed a cow, butchered it and sold the meat immediately?"
I just said, "I'm willing to try."
So we shall see how scheduling works out.
