After frustrated search first and the least we had no intention of starting again with the process of walking through the Federal District, but was "voluntary" (Such as soldiers in the movies, "we need volunteers for a dangerous mission ..." uncomfortable silence, perfect, you, you and you, good luck, the country will recognize them ") and, almost without realizing it, I was in a plane to Mexico.
The routine was the same even though we knew that, for a strategic issue, not live in the north. She would perform their functions, for which we were moving offices, in future they would be in not know what Hill South (and, of course, as life is determined to give the contras, was responsible for getting a job in which I do not know north hill, and sometimes, when traffic is complicated and I'm already two hours behind the wheel trying to get home, I begin to question why not study more geography in school.) The orders were clear "in the south, the right price and ... the one you like." Yes, sir.
The appointment with the imperturbable Frida would begin "very early", at nine o'clock. So I enjoyed the relaxation bit obscene unconscious and five-star hotel thanks to the corporate rate, I was staying.
"We have a busy schedule," he said, and will fly to the south where we waited several meetings. I met several women engaged in the business of renting houses, all very formal, all very nice, all very them, working almost bored, almost disinterested, most women who release their useless days showing houses to prospective tenants and will surely spend the commission in "Antara", this monument to the unreality, with luxury shops whose prices astronomical, invite the majority to walk through the corridors looking cabinets while, in reality, it will fly to the movies is there to enjoy the illusion of accommodations for only ten dollars (yes, these cinemas, "platinum" he called, are a delight of which I will speak ever).
The truth is that we traveled all morning many houses in the south, of all kinds, in every way, in every price. Again the rule is fulfilled and the ones I liked were out of any human budget. "These girls, who do not understand, I told them that the budget is less and no more, why not more, right?" "No, dear Frida, is no more." And so we kept walking.
Around noon we meet Martha, a nice lady, I would be starting his fifties, was noticeable, professional runner. Houses knew that we would see, had a list with details, location, price and other details. As it was easier to go in one car, Frida left the car and the three head toward destinations that the schedule established. We do not know, six or seven houses and then Martha said "we can stop to have a coffee" and Frida answered, addressing me, always friendly, always maternal, "I do not know if you want to stop, or prefer to end the day houses ". I do not drink coffee that nothing but the day seems to me that hybrid is a cappuccino decaf, no cream, no sugar, sweetened with such wonderful and carcinogenic polvitos with which we are overweight the idea of \u200b\u200bbeing outwitting the balance as we fattened the bill, fierce and relentless, our future oncologist, "I, I ..." I said, doubting between my fill and wanted it to end the day, "better still." So we continue and we do not know how many home more, many more rooms, how many more dining rooms, kitchens many, many more owners, many neighborhoods, much more!
That afternoon, evening, arrived at the hotel exhausted, determined not to move anymore, to not move any more of the six meters from the room where I was. I went to the shower, I let the water, abundant in this city, everything wet. My body is exhausted, my temper, my supreme boredom, my homicidal ideas, everything. I jumped on the bed and let myself be lulled by the dialogue unintelligible to me I do not know what movie I do not know what language (that of being monolingual with grotesque splash of another language, has, at times, their advantages).
up early the next morning. Was set at seven to nine would only Frida for me, so I decided to take it out on the buffet that the hotel offered "included" in the cost of the room. Up early worth it.
always punctual, was Frida. I dedicate it all day to see houses with Martha, "she is the most houses have achieved is very good at her job." How many saw? I do not know, "fifteen, twenty, more? And I have no idea. Just tired as I remember crossing the Sahara expedition with no company but a dried gourd. We walked across the South, I wish I had been a ride! Looking at the "Guia Roji" looking for references streets, trying to get an idea of \u200b\u200ban endless city remained a mystery to me but had exhausted all resources on the Internet looking for maps, details, explanations. We found a house that fully met our expectations, hummmm, the price exceeded a little, yet "we can negotiate," and would be the two in the afternoon and said "we have to stop for a moment" and the two ladies looked at me strangely and happy. In the corner (wonders of this Latin ours) had a warehouse. We went, we took a drink (soda Mexican name) and cumin us a cake (which was a chocolate cake that I had fallen very well, but the Mexican Peruvian referred sandwiches, we all know, to tame " sandwich castizo). That afternoon we saw a few houses and the day ended, like the previous one, in the shower, bed and cooing and incomprehensible foreign dialogue in the cable.
The next day I come again with the buffet. Martha started shooting and was with us until one evening when, finally, and after three days, finished cuchusientasmil see their houses which two or three came in the form, size, location and price, which were looking for. At that time, when the woman, exhausted as we left us, Frida asked "how do I get to Loreto?" Martha gave him directions and told him "whose homes, do the square?", "Yes" , Frida replied, "hmmm, I do not worthwhile," a icy knife cut the silence was, well, anything, will send "and left. Getting
was not easy. We went through a shopping center because I have been told that it is easier here, "and we got lost in the parking lot, police recovered thanks to a path, we climbed a ramp and headed for the door, automatic card did not work," how strange if there are fifteen minute window, but no, they were not. So, sir, get off, realizing he had no coins, change the ticket at the pharmacy, go back to the machine, pay and go directly to a gate whose immense arches announced condominium.
not bore you more. A runner waiting for us. Just had a home. Only in that neighborhood. At this condo ordinary houses, not too big or too small, or too comfortable or too uncomfortable with neighboring normal middle-class like us, young couples, bikes on the doors, a generous garden, a small roundabout, ordinary cars, dogs and noisy children playing in its streets (well, nothing is perfect, man Herod). I saw it and I decided.
that she still failed to travel, to visit the same five houses (the best of the fifty that I visited) and I called and told me "live in Loreto."
