We left my house August third at 5 a.m.
It was on a Monday.
Some in the group were Quiche.
I traveled with my son
and two of my friends.

We passed through Carmelita and Vera Cruz.
At one point on the walk
we crawled under a bus.
It was difficult to breathe.
It was so hot.
The children suffered.

We arrived at a small town.
We stayed four days.

One day and one night.
Without food.
Without water.
