Secundaria Memories?

fmd_good Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera

I'm heading to Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera next week for a teacher's conference. My cousin went there ages ago, and always talks about the legendary murals in the courtyard. He said they w… more

Yeah, the murals at Secundaria Federal Juan de la Barrera are still there! My sister taught there for a bit, years ago. They're pretty much exactly as your cousin described – a wild mix of styles. Best time to see them? Probably during the day, when the sun hits them right. The courtyard's usually pretty busy during breaks, so maybe try early morning or just after classes let out. No hidden spots to speak of, it's a pretty open courtyard. But seriously, those murals are a sight. Enjoy the conference!

Wow, thanks for the detailed info! Early morning it is then. My cousin's descriptions were pretty vague, so this is super helpful. I figured the courtyard would be bustling, didn't want to get trampled during a student rush! Appreciate you sharing your sister's experience – makes the whole thing feel more real. Looking forward to seeing those murals, sounds amazing.

Estadio Olímpico Mysteries?

I went to a Diablos Rojos game at Estadio Olímpico Andrés Quintana Roo last month. The atmosphere was electric, seriously, the crowd was insane. But, there's this one weird thing… during the seventh… more

Nah, you're not crazy. Estadio Olímpico Andrés Quintana Roo has… a vibe. I’ve heard whispers about that sort of thing before. Not the yellow poncho guy specifically, but definitely strange occurrences around game time. Some say it’s just the intense energy of the crowd manifesting weirdly, like some kind of collective subconscious thing. Others… well, others have theories involving ancient Mayan spirits and restless souls. Take that as you will. I'd personally chalk it up to tequila and the heat, but hey, who knows, right? Maybe the poncho guy is just really, really fast.

Seriously? Mayan spirits?! That's... unexpectedly interesting. I figured it was just a local legend or something, but ancient spirits? Okay, now I'm intrigued. The tequila and heat theory is definitely plausible though, especially considering how intense those games can get. Maybe a combination of both? Overheated, tequila-fueled fans manifesting collective weirdness... and maybe a very speedy poncho guy. I'm gonna have to keep an eye out next time I'm there.
