Ke hele ʻoe i loko o nā lehulehu o kahi ʻāina a i ʻole ʻāpana like paha lākou āpau.
ʻO nā kūlanakauhale a me nā kaona o Colima, i ka helehelena, ʻaʻole ʻokoʻa diametrically mai nā poʻe ʻē aʻe e pili ana i nā wahi e pili kokoke ana iā Jalisco a me Michoacán; kaʻana like lākou i nā maʻamau, nā loina a me nā hoʻohana e hoʻohui iā lākou i ka ʻike like o ka honua a me nā kūlana. Eia nō naʻe, he alo ko Colima, a aia kona aʻa i ke kahe o kēlā me kēia lā o ka poʻe.
ʻOiai i kēia lā, hoʻomau ʻo Colima i ka hiamoe hiamoe maʻamau o nā anilā wela, ʻaʻano ʻole ʻia e ka hou o kāna mau kula ākea i piha i nā kumulāʻau a me nā pua, nona nā kala e aniani e ka ʻōlinolino o ka mālamalama a me ka ea limpid.
ʻO ka nani o nā lā ke hōʻike ʻole ʻia; kūlohelohe ka pena e pena i kāna mau kiʻi ʻoi loa i ka napoo ʻana o ka lā, a laila lele i loko o ka ʻeleʻele hohonu o ka pō. Ma waho aʻe o kēlā noho maluhia i hoʻonaninani ʻia me nā aʻa maopopo o nā bele, ma Colima aia kahi ola ākea o nā mea hiki ke hauʻoli. ʻO kona mau ʻano aniau, mai ke ʻano hou o nā kuahiwi a i ka mehana o nā kahakai, e like me ka ʻono o kekahi kanaka.
Ma waena o kona mau kūlanakauhale, kū i waho ʻo Comala, ka ʻāina hānau nani o ka moʻolelo kaʻao a me ka moolelo Pedro Páramo, ka mea i hele mālie ma nā alanui e ʻimi nei i kāna aʻa ponoʻī. A i ʻole Manzanillo me nā kahakai o ke one gula a me nā kai multicolored, e hāʻawi nei i ka leʻaleʻa a me ka hoʻomaha ʻana i ka poʻe e kipa iā lākou. A i ʻole ʻo Colima, ke kapitala nui, me kona poʻe aloha a me kāna mau kaha nani, e hāʻawi ana i kēlā ea hiki ʻole ke poina.
Ke noho nei i Colima hiki iā ʻoe ke ʻike i ke aloha wale nō. ʻO ia ke kumu e kono aku ai iā ʻoe e ʻike i kēia mokuʻāina, kona poʻe, akā ʻoi aku, ka poʻe o Colima, ʻo wai ka waiwai nui o kēia wahi ʻāina liʻiliʻi o ka honua.
