Mi Casa es tu Casa [The Nowhere Castle]

This is Xilitla, a little place in the San Luis Potosi jungle where Edward James created this surreal garden where stairs that take you up in the air but end there without making any sense and other constructions that seem to be put there just for the fun of it. 

I personally have never been in The Huasteca Potosina, but I have seen pictures of my friends and seriously this place is to die for! I wish so hard to go there anytime soon and to have an awesome camera when I go so I can take pictures of everything I want. What I like the most about this places is that it reminds me of the film The Secret Garden, it is like a secret place buried into the depths of the jungle with so much greenery surrounding it... aw pure magic! Well for now is on my bucket list of places to visit, but who knows maybe in a few posts I will be sharing my own pictures of this magical place.

Let's stay awake and listen to the dark

I have been toying with the idea of getting a tattoo for quite some time now, these are some inspirations I have found over the internet and books since I first decided to get one. I am more certain now than ever that I want one. My brother and I wanted to get one together in remembrance of my dear father who passed away 4 years ago. This year my brother turns 18 and I think it is the perfect timing for both of us... if he doesn't bail out (hope not!)
A bird is what I want, I decided that long ago, but I just can't seem to find the right one, these are some of my favorites (the illustrations) and the photos of the girls with tattoos are the real ones i like the most, I think I won't be having it on my neck but lower like on my center back's right side, but it is hard to decide if I want it black and white or colorful, or if I really want it there or somewhere else, I have to be at least comfortable with it because it will be there always!
I know these kind of decisions are tricky one day you might want one and next you don't and you are stuck with it, but I have been thinking it for years, four years to be exactly and a bird means so much to me, I think of my dad every time I see a humming bird outside my window or when I see them flying away into the sky enjoying their freedom, besides they are just amazing animals I love them!
For quite a while now I have been having a dream where I see myself sleeping on my bed and a bird comes and tries to wake me up and rests on my face, it chirps and tweets and bats its wings... I would like to think it is him wishing to stay always with me... who knows maybe I am just a crazy girl who wants a tattoo and that is it, ha ha

Mi Casa es tu Casa [Cave of Crystals]

I would like to talk a little about my country, this place that amazes me all the time and I really haven't traveled to all the states but the ones I've seen have really blown my mine. They are so different one from another, from the jungle, to the forest to the desert to the amazing beaches that oh man are really the best in the world (without being conceded) I have decided to dedicate these series of posts called Mi Casa es tu Casa to show the places that I would like to visit (and I know soon I will) to show a part of México you didn't know existed.
This is a cave located on the north of México in a little town called Naica in Chihuahua, I am not sure if its open for the public but if it is I am definitely going in there. The coolest way to get to Chihuahua is to take the train from Los Mochis, Sinaloa and then I guess taking a little bus to get to the cave's town.
The project is called Naica like the town and they even did a movie about it, that kinda makes me think this is like a private place where only specialized people can go in, but still did you know this existed? Not me! I just found out a couple days ago and I am mesmerized by the photographs.
The cave was discovered in 2002 in a mine that produces led and silver and the crystals are formed by selenites. They can be up to 10 Mts. long and one meter wide. This cave is the only of its kind in the world and it's only temporal because it was form during millions of years with the help of the water that was being drained by a special system and it will stop functioning when the mines stop working, in that moment the cave will be covered by water and will continue its growth. Oh how sad! well miracles like this could only last a moment, so I have to hurry up to pack my stuff and see with my two eyes the wonders of my beloved country.
