The forest was a very dangerous place as he learned as a kid. "On the trail between Jalco and Tecuitata a five-foot rattlesnake had been killed. These were warnings for small boys, to be heeded until you became a man and learned to get along with the forest" (Galarza 4). He learned that he has to get along with the forest and that its apart of who he was and where he lived.

To get to other places in Jalcocotan you had to walk through a mule track. " From Tepic, the nearest city to the north, you came down a steep mule track, careful not to step on the smooth round rocks that could send you spinning, or the sharp, flat ones that cut your feet" (Galarza 1).  In his town that would  be how you traveled to the  north side unless you traveled on a mule or a tourist class.  He had to travel everyday to places trying not to cut his feet on the rocks.

Ernesto was born in an adobe cottage. " Unlike people who are born in hospitals, in an ambulance, or in a taxicab, I showed up in an adobe cottage with a thatched roof that stood at one end of the only street of Jalcocotan, which everybody called Jalco for short" (Galarza 1).  This quote was important to him because he wasn't like everyone else that was born in the normal places he was different.
