When you heat made yesterday by the land, not comparable with that of Juarez, but not negligible, for reminding me my childhood.
It's funny how over the years to change the perception of everything. As a kid, summer was a paradise, now just thinking about a summer in hell I think Juárez. As a child, summers were long, very long, and full of fun stuff. Now the summers are shorter than you'd like, because although it makes a lot of heat, the truth is that I hope the arrival of summer for almost too long.
In June I remember as a month to go to school, the sun came fully out the window of my living room. For afternoon, I went into the garden to do the task, and was watching the shadow lengthened as time passed. Fruit trees matured mom, and our crops were fun and plentiful, with the exception of the apple, which was little. Shortly before the holidays in full finals, was the day of San Juan. Bonfires Here, there wars did water balloons.
During the summer, my cousins \u200b\u200bVeronica and Christina visited me, sometimes they were part of the summer at home. We went skating, did before there was karaoke, recording our songs in a cassette and danced lyrics Timbiriche or Parcheesi, or of Let's Play Song.

Then there was the club. There were karts and skating, and a large pool where I especially liked being alone, in the morning, before the arrival of all other children. One of my swimming teacher, Mark, years later starred with his family, one of the saddest tragedies (not including the drug) I know. I never learned to swim well, or at least never completely removed my fear, but at that time I got to throw myself off the highest diving board more than once. In addition, some long ago when the pool (pool, pa those here) was empty. Had a red swimsuit, coca-cola. But the best was when my cousin Rodrigo came to spend the summer with me. We could be playing in the water until it closed, when the pool lights were on. Although it was not bad when it was I who went to see my cousin, Disneyland is always a great temptation. I remember the first half hour means we look, self-conscious, as if we met, from the next half hour, we were laughing and playing as usual, as if nothing had happened a year or two, or sometimes three no see. My cousin Rodrigo. Someday I will speak more of it.
Then there were the macro party birthday My brother, who turns 14 in July. Border Tobacco We went to a shop that sold all sorts of things for parties, hats, streamers, napkins, decorations, plates, glasses, and barrels of candy, to buy a kilo. We spent all afternoon making the bags of candy. The parties were in the garden and were subject, according to current interests of Juan Omar: A-Team, Dukes of Hazard, Ninja Turtles or He-Man.
August also was fun, was the month of purchases. New notebooks, new clothes, new uniform, new shoes and socks, all to return to class. I'm still buying in August Composition notebooks, hard cover, black and white. Still I still buy books, in general, I have library books, the most beautiful I do not use, I keep them as is. My cousins, my aunt's children Stella, gave me a little envious because they bought clothes for school, I had to go in uniform, and the clothes I bought was for use when leaving the school, and I always seemed much less than the amount they bought them.
But I have also memories of other summers, earlier, when we lived in Saltillo and went by bike to play with Mario, my neighbor, and my mom gave me the afternoon ice cream and fresh fruit, melon, watermelon, I do not know for what reason I remember much of the fruit and ice cream. And the paddles Kiki, who sold the parents of my friend Marcela, or ice cream fountain.
Now we are starting to plan what to do in the summer, when we realize that it's over.
