Monterrey

Estuvo en tres, ¿no?

América Chivas, Cruz Azul América, América Pumas, Monterrey Tigres.

Por la

convocatoria, yo pondría el América Chivas, ¿no? Por la convocatoria que hay.

¿Y el Rayados Tigres? Es muy pasional también.

Es como el que tú dices.

El Tigres Monterrey y el Chivas-Atlas-Cruz Azul-Pumas-Cruz Azul-América son bien bravos entre las aficiones.

Probably a constant race to try and identify those epigenetic factors and how we can target them as well.

Yeah, so there is a cluster of young patients in Monterrey, Mexico.

There's a lot of elk in this very small region of Mexico.

And they're mostly women.

And you know, elk doesn't have a preference for sex.

But in this region, it does.

So we are going, we're planning to go to Monterrey and study the soil, the water, the air, the food.

And we are geotyping all these young women to see what is in common.

So I don't know much about what we'll see up there, but excited about that.

The Pac-12 team, going to see some Pac-12 boys up there, and then we will finish off the fall back in Monterey, Mexico.

Tell us about that Monterey trip.

That's pretty cool.

You know, the golf tournament, I think, was established years ago.

Um, the whole club comes out, the president of the club speaks to them.

They, they've got banners and they treat these kids like tour kids and golf course is phenomenal.

Um, and Monterey, Mexico is beautiful.

As soon as they rejoined us, we moved on to Papagayos, then to Ramos, where we met some French traders with a long train of mules and their cargoes.

ramos was followed by marin and aquafrio all present a dilapidated appearance very different from what was seen when the country was under the fine system of irrigation and the remains of past opulence everywhere sadden the traveler we reached walnut springs five miles from monterey on the eighth of may and are taking needed rest in the shade of the spanish walnuts and enjoying the delightful water which bursts out in a fountain of six to eight feet wide and about a foot deep clear but not cool yet pleasant to drink monterey is at the base of a range of mountains which surround it on all sides except to the north Its entrance over bridges, many of them very picturesque, shows abundance of water which irrigates the beautiful valley for miles beyond Molino.

Where did I hope to be at this date? Yet here we are scarcely started, one month lost in sickness and sorrow, and one in the reorganization of our company.

We are full two months behind our reckoning, and on a route of which I never approved, but which when i took command we were already compelled to pursue we are having the horses and mules shod for their feet are so tender we can not continue without we travel usually twenty or twenty-five miles a day as the chance for water and forage for our horses occurs the uncertainty of provisions is such that we have to carry corn for one or two feeds a head which adds considerably to the weight of our packs and gives us a good deal of trouble as i sit here i hear the notes of many new birds as well as those well known and the sky overhead is bluer than any italy ever presented to me monterey where i have been several times is an improvement on the other mexican towns we visited but full of foreigners of all nations come to prey on the ignorance of the poor inhabitants all now seems well regulated but i dread shortness of provisions and we have to be very careful i have not heard from home since the date of february nineteenth and now must wait i fear until we reach if we ever do reach the pacific coast the company are all tired the work is new and it takes time to become accustomed to the broken night's rest at midnight i take the rounds of our camp in moonlight starlight or darkness to see that all is well and that none relax in vigilance so requisite to safety in this country of thieves this gives me only six hours of sleep for after we have had supper it is eight o'clock and we get up at four a m so that taking out the two hours nightly reduces me to that amount but habit is second nature if you hear of any more men coming to california overland tell them three shirts six pairs of socks one coat one great-coat two pairs of trousers and two pairs of boots should be all the personal luggage no man should bring more than he can carry i have had quite a scene with the alcalde here our camp was infested with pigs which came from every direction every morning and evening when we fed our horses and mules of course we could not see them robbed stones and hatchets were abundant and some pistols went off which the boys declared did so accidentally we could not find the owners so i went to the alcalde to pay for them taking an italian boy as interpreter the boy instead of saying what i told him which was simply to ask the value and pay it added on his own account that if his honour was not satisfied with what we gave we would come in and take the town naturally the alcalde resented this and i found my little vagabond had been telling his own story not mine upon matters being explained by a more trustworthy source the alcalde was perfectly content and bowed me out with much courtesy the adroitness of the mexicans in thieving equals that of the rascals at naples in two instances pistols have been taken from the holsters whilst the owners held the bridles of their horses all this has tended to excite revenge and without good discipline outbreaks of temper might have occurred which would undoubtedly have brought us into trouble as happened with several other companies on the road to mazatlan satillo may twentieth here we are thank god fairly on our way and at present in good health and spirits we travel about twenty-five miles a day but have great difficulty in keeping our horses and mules in good order as there is no grass for grazing purposes and corn varying in quality but always high in price from one dollar to fifty cents per bushel when we left monterey we followed the road to rinconada which is a beautifully located rancho well watered and with a long avenue of pollard poplars or cottonwoods the bowls not more than ten or fifteen feet high so that the flowy gusts are like little hurricanes for a few seconds and which come from the mountains which surround the place in every direction cannot blow them down here we saw the first magua plants from the juice of which pulque is made and afterwards mescal distilled mescal in taste is more like creosote and water slightly sweetened than anything i could compare it to and i suppose it is about as wholesome the peons who do the work of the hacienda are completely indian in character appearance and habits sometimes marvellous in their strength and activity and sometimes surprising us with their unsurpassed laziness the women patient things like all squaws carry wood water and do all the household labour from this beautiful little amphitheatre among the hills we wound along parched arroyos and valleys, and I could not but be struck with the wise provision of nature for the protection of its creations almost all the trees have tap roots or if fibrous they run so deep in search of moisture that they are often longer than the tree is high in the arroyos where the earth was often washed from the roots i had a good opportunity of confirming my conclusions we proceeded up a deep ravine until we began the ascent of the famed pass of rencanada intended to be defended by santa anna but abandoned when our troops approached how any force of military could have deserted such a position i cannot conceive for the unfinished fort commands the road for two miles at least the view from the fort was most superb but we were tired of mountains and longed for shade and woods crossing this pass we had our first indication of increasing altitude and above us on the rocks were pines and cedars they had the showers we longed for and saw passing while almost smothered in dust our hair and whiskers white with it and we looked like a troop of gray veterans we approached sotillo over a broad plain dotted with ranchos for some miles before we reached the town which we entered through lanes of adobe walls and finally came to the principal street and commenced the ascent of the hill on which the town proper stands it is all mexican in its character one-story houses flat roofed and having a fortified look as if no one trusted his neighbor the public square is a fine one and the cathedral front the most beautiful i have seen on this side of the atlantic the workmen who did the carving came from spain and the stone from the rocky mountains so goes the story satillo has many good points it is clean well regulated and has better buildings than any i have seen except in monterey yet we pushed on and have made our camp at buena vista six miles further on high mountains bound our view on every side buena vista had its battle and few of us but have had some friend or acquaintance sleeping there

Forget whatever plans you have this weekend because you're staying at home and playing on SpinQuest.

And there's never been a better time to sign up than right now.

Back to, back into the States for, uh ...

Well, actually, no, that's Monterrey.

That is Mexico.

Um, okay.

My teacher was a former colleague of my father, from his old job.

One Monday at about 12 pm, we left the trip as usual to Monterrey and Nuevo Leon.

Everything was going well, until suddenly he got out of the truck and told me to take him.

I gladly accepted.

This past year, my grandparents sent him out to the biggest city across two states, which was Nuevo León.

They sent him over to Monterrey to have a better education because they believed that the eldest son was going to get the best of everything so that he can then in turn come back and help the family out and grow and prosper.

So they send him out at the tender age of eight.

And he had to kind of just like figure it out.

He was at some boarding school over there and he did his life on his own since he was a kid.

So that forged a very strong personality, a strong man.

He got into... an amazing university, a top-tier university in Mexico, which is like a top-tier university ranking in the world, Tecnológico de Monterrey.

He got in through a scholarship for football.

I believe it's Nuevo León.

Nuevo León is the state, right? Isn't that where Monterrey is in Nuevo León? Anyway, continue.

White clubs.

That's the two clubs.
