ʻO ke kihi o Agua Verde, e like me ka Lake Zirahuén i ʻike ʻia, he wahi kūpono ia no kahi hoʻi uhane a e ʻoluʻolu i kahi kūlohelohe paradisiacal ...
Ua haʻi ka moʻolelo i ka hōʻea ʻana o nā Sepania i Michoacán, ma hope o ka hāʻule ʻana o Tenochtitlan, ua aloha kekahi o nā mea lanakila iā Eréndira, ke kaikamahine nani a Tangaxoán, ke aliʻi o ka Purépechas; Ua kāʻili ʻo ia iā ia a hūnā iā ia i ke awāwa nani i hoʻopuni ʻia e nā kuahiwi; ma laila, e noho ana ma luna o kahi pōhaku nui, ua uē aloha ʻole ke kamāliʻiwahine, a ua hoʻokumu ʻia kona mau waimaka he loko nui. Makemake a pakele i kāna mea ʻālunu, hoʻolei ʻo ia iā ia iho i loko o ka loko, kahi, e kahi kilokilo ʻē, ua lilo ʻo ia i mermaid. Mai ia manawa, ma muli o kona nani, ua kapa ʻia ka loko ʻo Zirahuén, ʻo ia hoʻi ma Purépecha ke aniani o nā akua.
ʻLelo ka poʻe kamaʻāina e holoholo mau nei ke kaikamahine lūlū i ka loko, a ʻaʻohe hemahema o ka poʻe i koi ua ʻike lākou. ʻLelo lākou i ka wanaʻao o ke kakahiaka e piʻi mai ia mai lalo a hoʻokalakupua i nā kāne a make lākou iā lākou; a hoʻopaʻi lākou no ka make o nā lawaiʻa he nui, nona nā kino i hiki ke loaʻa ma hope o kekahi mau lā o ka make ʻana. A hiki i kēia manawa, ua kū kekahi pōhaku nui e like me ka noho ma ka lihi o ke kai, i ʻōlelo ʻia, uē ʻo Erendira. Hoʻokomo ʻia ka kaʻao i ka manaʻo o nā kamaʻāina a aia kekahi miscellany liʻiliʻi i kapa ʻia ʻo "La Sirena de Zirahuén", a ʻo ia nō, ʻo ia ka mea kaulana loa ma ke kaona.
ʻOiaʻiʻo he moʻolelo aloha wale kēia a pau i hānau ʻia mai ka manaʻo, akā ke noʻonoʻo nei i ka loko nani o Zirahuén, maʻalahi ka hoʻomaopopo ma mua o kēlā mau hiʻohiʻona nani e hoʻopiha ʻia ka ʻuhane kanaka me nā moemoeā. Ua manaʻo ʻia ʻo Zirahuén kekahi o nā mea huna hūnā maikaʻi loa ʻia ma Michoacán, no ka mea hoʻopuni ʻia e nā wahi mākaʻikaʻi kaulana e like me Pátzcuaro, Uruapan a i ʻole Santa Clara del Cobre, manaʻo ʻia ia he wahi huakaʻi huakaʻi ʻelua. Eia nō naʻe, lilo kona nani kupaianaha iā ia i wahi kū hoʻokahi, i hoʻohālikelike ʻia me nā mea ʻoi loa o ka ʻāina.
Aia ma ke kikowaena o Michoacán, ʻo Lake Zirahuén, a me nā mea o Pátzcuaro, Cuitzeo a me Chapala, kahi ʻāpana o ka ʻōnaehana loko o kēia mokuʻāina. Aia he mau alanui ʻelua e hiki ai iā Zirahúen, ka mea nui, paved, haʻalele iā Pátzcuaro i Uruapan a ma hope o 17 km e heʻe ana ma ka hema 5 km a hiki i ke kaona. ʻO ke ala ʻē aʻe, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka huakaʻi, he alanui 7 km pāliki ʻia e haʻalele ana iā Santa Clara del Cobre, a i kūkulu ʻia e nā ejidatarios o ia wahi, nāna e hoʻihoʻi mai i ka hoʻopukapuka kālā, e uku i kahi uku haʻahaʻa no ka huakaʻi ʻana iā ia. ʻO kahi hōʻailona palena ʻole e ʻike i ka puka o ke alanui ma waho o Santa Clara, kahi pahu keleawe nani o General Lázaro Cárdenas, kāhiko nui ʻia.
ʻO ka quadrangular i ke ʻano, ʻoi aku ka liʻiliʻi o ka loko ma mua o 4 km ma kēlā me kēia ʻaoʻao, a me kahi hohonu ma kahi o 40 m ma kona kiko waena. Aia ia i loko o kahi kīʻaha liʻiliʻi i hoʻopuni ʻia, i hoʻopuni ʻia e nā kuahiwi kiʻekiʻe, no laila ua pali loa kona kapa. Ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau wale nō kahi papu liʻiliʻi kahi i noho ai ke kaona o Zirahuén, a puni ia e nā puʻu pali.
ʻO ka loko a me ke kaona e kūkulu ʻia e nā ululāʻau nunui o nā lāʻau paina, ʻoka a me nā strawberry, i mālama pono ʻia ma nā palena o ke kihi komohana hema, ʻoiai ka mamao loa mai nā kahawai. ʻO kēia ʻāpana kekahi o nā mea nani o ka loko, kahi e hoʻopili ai ma waena o nā pali kiʻekiʻe a me nā pali o nā kuahiwi e pili ana, uhi ʻia me nā lau nahele e like me ka ululāʻau a hana i kahi ʻano canyon. Ua ʻike ʻia kēia wahi ʻo Rincón de Agua Verde, ma muli o ke kala i lawe ʻia e ka wai aniani o ka loko i ka wā e ʻike ʻia ai nā lau mānoanoa o nā kapa, a no ka hoʻoheheʻe ʻia ʻana o nā lau nahele i loko o ka wai ma muli o ka pala o nā lau.
Ma kēia wahi kaʻawale, ua kūkulu ʻia kekahi mau keʻena i hoʻolimalima ʻia, a he wahi kūpono ia no ka hoʻi ʻana o ka ʻuhane, a e hoʻolana i ka noʻonoʻo a me ka noʻonoʻo i waena o kahi kūlohelohe paradisaacal, kahi e lohe wale ʻia ai ka ʻōhumu o ka makani ma waena o ka lāʻau a me nā leo nahenahe o nā manu.
Nui nā ala e hele aʻe i nā ululāʻau a palena paha i ka loko, no laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hana i nā huakaʻi lōʻihi ma lalo o ke ʻala o nā kumulāʻau, a nānā i ka lehulehu o nā mea kanu e parasitize iā lākou, e like me nā bromeliad, i kapa ʻia e nā kamaʻāina he "gallitos", he nalu orchid. ʻĀlohilohi lākou, ma nā nectars hummingbirds e hānai ai, a i waiwai nui ʻia no ka lā o ka make make. I ke kakahiaka, piʻi mai kahi ohu nunui mai ka loko mai e hoʻouka ana i ka ululāʻau, a kānana nā kukui i nā kaola ma o ka pale o nā mea kanu, e hana ana i kahi pāʻani o nā aka a me nā uila, ʻoiai e hāʻule mālie nā lau i make.
ʻO ke ala komo nui i kēia wahi ma ka moku, ma kēlā ʻaoʻao o ka loko. Aia kekahi wahi kiʻi kiʻi liʻiliʻi e hiki ai iā ʻoe ke ʻauʻau i ka wai aniani, kahi hohonu o kēia wahi, ʻaʻole like me ka hapa nui o nā panakō, he lepo, pāpaʻu, a piha i nā ʻohe a me nā mea kanu wai, kahi hoʻoweliweli loa iā lākou e hoʻomaʻamaʻa i ka ʻauʻau ʻana. Ma ka ʻaoʻao waena o ka palena komohana ka ranchería de Copándaro; ma ke kiʻekiʻena like, ma ke kahakai o ka loko, aia kahi hale ʻaina exotic a me rustic, i hoʻonani nui ʻia me nā pua, nona kahi kīʻaha ponoʻī a he ʻāpana ia o ka huakaʻi huakaʻi ʻo Zirahuén.
Ke kau nei ke kaona o Zirahuén ma ke kahakai ʻākau o ka loko; ʻelua mau kāʻei nui e komo i laila: hoʻokahi, pōkole loa, aia i ka ʻaoʻao waena, ʻo ia ke awa kaulana, kahi e hoʻokau ʻia ai nā moku kūʻokoʻa e lawe mai i nā malihini kipa a i ʻole kahi moku peʻa liʻiliʻi. Ua puni ka puka i nā keʻena liʻiliʻi o nā hana noʻeau a me nā hale ʻaina he nui, ua kākoʻo ʻia kekahi o lākou e nā pilings ma kahakai o ke kai, nā nā lawaiʻa a me ko lākou mau ʻohana, kahi e kūʻai aku ai ka meaʻai i nā kumukūʻai kūpono, e like me ka wai iʻa keʻokeʻo, ʻano o Lake Zirahuén, i ʻōlelo ʻia ʻoi aku ka ʻono ma mua o kēlā o Pátzcuaro.
ʻO ka uapo ʻē aʻe, ma ka ʻaoʻao hikina o ke kūlanakauhale, he waiwai pilikino ia, a ua hana ʻia me kahi wāwahi uhi lōʻihi i uhi ʻia, e ʻae ai iā ʻoe e kau i nā moku peʻa e huakaʻi ai nā mākaʻikaʻi o ka loko. Aia kekahi mau keʻena lāʻau a me nā keʻena mai kahi e kaohi ʻia ai ka mākaʻikaʻi Zirahuén holoʻokoʻa. Aia kēia paʻakikī i nā keʻena o ka Rincón de Agua Verde a me ka hale ʻaina ma ke kapa komohana, a me kahi lawelawe e hāʻawi ana i nā mea hana no ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa ʻana i nā haʻuki wai, e like me ka skiing. ʻO ka mea kupaianaha, ʻo ka hapa nui o nā kapa o ka loko e pili ana i hoʻokahi ona, nāna i kūkulu i kahi wahi hoʻomaha ma ke kapa hema, i ʻike ʻia ʻo "Big House". He hale lāʻau nui ʻelua papa ia, e hoʻopili ana i nā keʻena kahi e mālama nui ʻia ai nā mea hana o ka ʻāina, e like me nā lacquers Pátzcuaro i hana ʻia me nā ʻano hana maoli, a ua hoʻopau ʻia kēia manawa. Aia kekahi mau huakaʻi kipa i kahi kipa i kēia wahi.
Ma waena o nā uapo nui he mau "piers" liʻiliʻi kahi e kau ai nā lawaiʻa i ko lākou mau waʻa, akā makemake ka hapanui e holo i uka. ʻOluʻolu loa e hele a puni a noʻonoʻo i kēlā mau waʻa i kālai ʻia i hoʻokahi ʻāpana, ke hollowing ana mai i nā kumu paina, i hoʻoulu ʻia me nā hoe lōʻihi me nā pahi poepoe, a pīhoihoi loa ka hoʻokele ʻana i loko o lākou no ka mea ma muli o kā lākou koena palekana hikiwawe iā lākou ke hoʻokahuli i ka liʻiliʻi. ka neʻe ʻana o kāna mea e noho ana. He mea kupaianaha ka hiki o nā lawaiʻa, keu hoʻi nā keiki, e alakaʻi iā lākou ma ka hoe hoe ʻana i luna. Noho nā lawaiʻa he nui i nā hale lāʻau liʻiliʻi ma kahakai o ka loko, i kūkulu ʻia e nā lālani lāʻau kia kiʻekiʻe, kahi e kau ai nā ʻupena lawaiʻa lōʻihi e hoʻomaloʻo.
Hana ʻia ke kaona i nā hale adobe haʻahaʻa, enjarras me charanda, ka honua ʻulaʻula ʻano o ka ʻāina a he nui loa ia ma ka ʻĀina ʻo Colorado e palena ana i ke kaona ma ka hikina. ʻO ka hapanui he mau hale tile ʻalani, gabled, a me nā patios o loko me nā puka i kāhiko ʻia me nā ipu pua. Ma kahi a ma loko o ke kaona he mau māla nui o ka avocado, tejocote, lāʻau ʻāpala, lāʻau fiku a me ka quince, nona nā hua e mālama ai nā ʻohana a me nā meaʻono. Aia ma waenakonu o ke kūlanakauhale ka parish, hoʻolaʻa ʻia no ka Haku o ke kala kala, nāna e mālama i ke kaila kuhikuhipuʻuone i lanakila ma waena o ka ʻāina mai ka hōʻea ʻana mai o nā mikionali mua. He hale nunui kona hale kaupaku me kahi ʻano o ka ipu ʻāpala me nā pio o ka iwi ʻaoʻao, i hana ʻia i ka lāʻau āpau, kahi e hōʻike ai i kahi ʻaha kūkā pūʻiwa a metikuli hoʻi o ke anaina. Ma luna aʻe o ka lumi moe aia kahi hui hīmeni liʻiliʻi, i piʻi ʻia e kahi alapiʻi ala ʻololi. ʻO ka kaupaku waho o ka tile ʻalani, gabled, a ma ka ʻaoʻao ʻākau o ka hale aia he hale kiaʻi pōhaku kahiko, i uhi ʻia me ka hale kiaʻi i piʻi ʻia e kahi alapiʻi kūloko. He ākea ke atrium a ʻekolu mau puka paʻa paʻa o ka paia. Ma muli o ke kūlana kūpono, hele nā kamaʻāina iā ia ma ke ala pōkole. No laila, maʻamau ka ʻike ʻana i nā wahine i ʻaʻahu ʻia i nā polū polū kūpilikiʻi me nā kaha ʻeleʻele, kaila Patzcuaro, hoʻohana ākea ma ka ʻāina holoʻokoʻa. Ma ke alo o ka hale pule he wahi liʻiliʻi me kahi kiosk simena a me kahi wai puna wai. ʻO kekahi o nā hale e hoʻopuni ana iā ia he mau portal tile rust, i kākoʻo ʻia e nā kia lāʻau. Paepae ʻia nā alanui he nui, a ke hoʻomau nei ka hana koloneial o ke kāhea ʻana i ke alanui nui ʻo "Calle Real". He mea maʻamau ka ʻike ʻana i nā hoki a me nā bipi e holoholo mālie ana ma nā alanui, a i nā ʻauinalā, hele nā pūʻā bipi i ke kauhale e pili ana i kā lākou mau peni, wikiwiki e nā paniolo, he mau keiki pinepine lākou. He mea mau i ka ʻāina ka holoi i nā lio ma kahakai o ka loko, a holoi nā wahine i ko lākou kapa i loko. Minamina, ʻo ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā mea holoi a me nā kopa me nā huahana kemika ʻona loa ke kumu o kahi haumia nui o ka loko, kahi e hoʻohui ʻia ai ka hōʻiliʻili ʻana o nā ʻōpala biodegradable i hoʻolei ʻia ma nā kapa e nā poʻe kipa a me nā kamaʻāina. ʻO ka naʻaupō a me ka mālama ʻole i ka haʻi ʻana i ka pilikia e pau i ka luku ʻana i ka loko a ʻaʻohe mea e hoihoi i ka lawe ʻana i nā hana e ʻalo ai.
Lele koke mai kahi iʻa mai ka wai kokoke loa i kahakai, a haki ka ʻili mālie o ka wai. Ma kahi mamao aku, lele wikiwiki kahi waʻa, hoʻokaʻawale i nā nalu, a he gula kolo. Ua silhouet ʻia kona silhouette e kūʻē ana i ka lalo o ke kai o ka loko, i pā ʻia me ka viola e ka napoʻo ʻana o ka lā. I kekahi manawa i hala aku nei ua hala nā muries, e like me ke ao ʻeleʻele e kamaʻilioʻeleʻele ana, i kā lākou poʻe mahuka i ka pō i nā ulu lāʻau o nā kapa. 'Saylelo nā lunakahiko o ke kauhale ma mua, ua hōʻea mai nā ʻelele neʻe he nui, e hana ana i nā hipa i noho i ka hapa nui o ka loko, akā ua kipaku nā poʻe ʻimi iā lākou, me ka hoʻouka mau iā lākou me nā pōkā.

Hoʻoikaika ka mea hoe i kona wikiwiki e hiki i ka ʻāina ma mua o ka pouli. ʻOiai aia kahi hale kukui liʻiliʻi ma ka uapo waena e lilo i alakaʻi no nā lawaiʻa i ka pō, makemake ka hapa nui e hoʻi i ka home i ka wanaʻao, "o kokoke paha ka sirena ma laila."
