Ua manaʻo wau no ka hāʻawi i hoʻokahi o kēia mau lā, no laila ua hāpai wau i ka pule aʻe.

He poʻokela hoʻi ʻo ia i ka hoʻokipa aloha ʻana iā mākou i kona home. I kēlā pō, ma hope o ka ʻauʻau maikaʻi ʻana, ua iho mākou i ke kūlanakauhale no ka ʻaina awakea. ʻO ka wahi pikinki a mākou i hele aku ai he hana nui, no laila pono mākou e kali a hiki ke ʻono i ka moa momona tostadas, nā ʻīlio ʻiʻo gula a me ka supā maʻamau, lana ka manaʻo e hōʻoiaʻiʻo wau iā ʻoe he waiwai ia.

I ka lā aʻe ua ala mākou, ʻai i ka maiʻa wai maloʻo –no ono loa–, inu kope mai ka ʻāina – maikaʻi loa– a hele mākou i Tecomán e kiʻi i Boca de Pascuales. Haʻalele iā Colima, hele mākou i ke alaloa 54 a ma kahi o 40 mau mile i mua, ua komo mākou i ke ala nui pekelala 200, a lawe iā mākou i Tecomán, kahi e hiki ai iā mākou ke mahalo i kahi kiʻi nui o ka virtuoso Sebastián i kapa ʻia ʻo The Tree of Life a i ʻole The Lemon Tree, na 110 tona a me 30 mika ke kiʻekiʻe. He makana ia na nā mea hana limona o ka ʻāina, i ʻike ʻia ʻo "Lemon Capital of the World", mai ka makahiki kanaono, ʻo ia kahi me ka wahi nui o ka mahi ʻana o kēia hua i ka honua. Ma laila mākou i ʻike ai i ka hoʻololi i Boca de Pascuales a ua huakaʻi mākou ma kahi o 12 mau kilomita e loaʻa ai, ma ka hope loa.
