Last year I drove 2,500 kms.It was a trip I wanted to make for a long time.
I was on the road for about almost 3 weeks going to many places. Not knowing how that was going to start I thought about waiting for a sign to know how the following year was to come for me. Now that a little bit more than a year has passed I realized that, as in life, one has a good start that ends triumphantly on every journey, even though it takes some time to look back and realize that it has always been like that for every endeavor one makes.
The start of my journey was with the Pico de Orizaba which is the highest mountain in Mexico and the third highest in North America. Now a dormant volcano rising 18,491 feet (5,636 meters) above sea level.
When I was returning home, thinking.. well things went ok, I never thought that rumbling events would happen to me. If I would have been a better observer, I would have realized that no matter how bad things would turned to me, I would have the patience, the stability and the strength of an active volcano waiting its turn to be heard and being so firm to the ground that nothing, nothing at all would make my spirit doubt.
This is the Popocateptl, and active volcano and fumes. It is the second highest just after Pico de Orizaba, with 1,7802 feet (5,426 meters) tall.
This was the paramount view I had as I was returning back home.
And what with all this? Well, that no matter how bad things can get, you will always have the strength to make it through just like an active volcano has.
Look for your signs, they are there.
Whoa, very strong post Cedric! What a journey.

Thank you! I was very curious when I realized that from start and finish, I had this mountains at my sight. Never thought they would mean anything until later.

What a beautiful adventure! Are there mountain climbers on the Pico de Orizaba? You got a great shot of both mountains 😉

At Pico de Orizaba yes.. not the same at Popocateptl since that one is still an active volcano! Thank you for visiting!
