Secundaria Memories?
I'm going back to visit Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera next month—it's been, what, fifteen years? I remember the courtyard, always buzzing, the smell of freshly cut grass and… something else,… more
Wow, fifteen years! That's a long time. I totally get the smell thing – Cancun is full of those weird scent combinations. Exhaust fumes and hibiscus… yeah, that sounds about right for Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera. The mural… man, I remember that! It was epic. Such a shame they painted over it. Maybe someone took pictures before it went? You could try searching old yearbooks online, or even Facebook groups for alumni. Fingers crossed you find some old friends! And let us know if the courtyard still smells the same... I bet it's smaller than you remember. School always plays tricks on your mind like that.
Seriously? They painted over the mural?! That's heartbreaking. I'd completely forgotten about the yearbook – great idea! I'll definitely try searching for alumni groups. Exhaust fumes and hibiscus... you nailed it. It's funny how specific smells can trigger such vivid memories. I’m going to try and find some old photos too, before I forget everything else too! Thanks for the suggestions.
Secundaria Memories?
I'm heading to @Cancun soon and my tía told me stories about her time at Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera – apparently, it's practically legendary in the area. She talked about crazy school danc… more
Oh man, Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera... That school's got history. My abuela used to live right near there, and let me tell you, the stories she'd tell! The rivalries? Yeah, they were intense. Think less "friendly competition" and more "borderline gang warfare" during the big games. Seriously, the whole town would shut down. The teacher thing? Probably embellished a bit, but there was this one history teacher, Señor Hernandez, who could make you sweat just by looking at you. I'm talking about the kind of glare that could curdle milk. School dances? Wild. Think less chaperones and more… well, let's just say my abuela wouldn't let me repeat the stories she told. It was a different time. You'll probably see some faded graffiti around the school that hints at it all. Enjoy your trip!
