As something of a joke I asked Alfredo
to come with me on a treasure hunt at Belen to see what exotic stuff
we could find to impress the folks back home. I live in dark and
dirty places often, and my life exposed would shock and horrify most
people who live the life of my fellows, those middle class people
like Alfredo, one of whom I think I am in most ways in spite of my
travels into the other realms of humanness. I look around, I see
things, I wonder, and I look ever deeper. At some point I must have
lost sight of the boundaries of middle class normal. I like Belen
very much. I feel good there. And finding the best of stuff that
others likely have not seen makes me feel all the better in my
explorations. I found what I was looking for. I found the ultimate treasure.
