We found her dad, told him 'bout what she did, he gave us the cell phone, he called that girl and told her that they were done, but with some more bad words, i felt really good and surprised, I couldn't believe we accomplished that mission, we were asking literally everyone we saw till we found her house. Then we hitchhiked to Tepic, a big troca stopped close to where we were at the road, he told us to get at the back of the truck, he took us to our city. When we arrived, we said “wherever the 🤬 goes” and we celebrated with some Coronas at a wings restaurant. ]]> 2018-09-08 15:48:02 UTC https://padlet.com/maciel_141/nj4f5x7j6ssx/wish/279089667 The little girl https://padlet.com/maciel_141/nj4f5x7j6ssx/wish/279089681 Once upon a time a littler girl who was lost in the middle of nowhere, she didn’t know where was her family, she didn’t remember her own name, she only knew that she wanted be with her bro and to do that she had to follow a road so a few hours later a truck pulled up, it was an old man looked like a grandpa, he asked her if she needed a ride that he was going to Sonora, she didn’t say anything , only got on.

When I already arrived near to Forest I saw a old woman in the middle of nowhere. I said "it's an ancient person, so I will take she with me.
I pulled up because I was driven alone.
I asked her if she wants to go with me and i told she the place where I was going, she just nodded and she got on the car.
I played music, and I was singing all the little trip and when I realized the lady was no longer by my side, I was alone. I never noticed his disappearance because I was very concentrated. I was scared because I have never feel something similar. 
Then I was already in Mazamitla I asked the landowne if he knows about the woman and he told me "ahhh she is Lucia, she was died on 1998 when she wants to visit her son in this forest, she haven't a car or any familiar near to here, so she was did hitchhiking, but the person who's give she the travel had a several trash with a huge stone because he was driving at the night. After the car overturned in a ravine whereupon Lucia and the person who's drove died in a very tragic way, you looked her suffering soul because she have never meet her grandchildren and she can't saw his son"...

I was 17 years and I needed to go to California, because i was going to join in a X Games competition. I walked all around Culiacan and finally started my adventure in La Costerita free way.
I traveled with a horse, his name was Juanito, he actually was a unicorn, but he didn't want to addmited that fact. We flew all around Mexico, eating machaca burritos and Boing juice, we almost crashed with an airplane but we survived because of the unicorn magic. The police tried to arrest us one time but after a fight, many explosions adn special effects, we scape. In this moments I felt the most powerful girl in the world.
Finally we arrived to California, but I notice that i didn't have a motocycle for the competitiom, so that's when Juanito said to "don't worry babe, Iwill be your motocycle" instantly he turned in to a amazing motocycle. We compite together and won ten milion dollars, we bought a house made of gold and a giant dinousaur. We lived there for years eating burritos and boing juice.

Later that night, halfway there our car broke down, and we were stranded in the middle of nowhere, we where really desperate because the wedding was about to start, and that meant no beach house for us. We asked for a hitchhike, the car that stopped was an SUV full of dudes who asked us where we were going, we told them everything, and then they got out of the car and robbed us in less than a second. We were left without shoes and money, luckily I hid the ring in my underwear but when a car finally gave us a ride to the wedding, it was so late that everyone had already left.

After three hours of driving, I suddenly watched a pregnant woman hitchhiking, it was
rare to see a woman alone in the road by herself so I pulled over. I asked her where she was going and why was she there, she told me her name was Sofia and that her car broke down while she was going to Guadalajara and that she had 8 months of pregnancy , so I told her to get in the car.
After driving for another hour I saw a man hitchhiking too, but he was in a very formal suit, so I pulled over again, I was in a good mood that day. When he got in the car, he told us that his name was Martin and he didn’t care where we were going, it turns out that he was supposed to get married that day but he left her ex fiancé at the altar because she cheated on him the night before.
15 minutes before arriving to Guadalajara the pregnant woman had contractions so I went straight to the first hospital I saw in Guadalajara. After one hour of labor she had a girl which she named after me. Five years later I’m heading to Sofia & Martin wedding .

Every one was crazy and no one knew what to do, then the bus crashed and I had to get by myself to the meeting, standing in the Middle of nowhere. I was asking for a ride, when a kind trailero picked me up. I realized late that the kind trailero was trying to kidnap me, so I have to use my incredible skills to get rid of him and drive by my way to my meeting. Apparently, no one wanted me to meet the President,because there were some helicopters right behind me and also, I had to get rid of them with a bazooka. Finally, I met with Mr. President and took a coffee.

Maybe I just wanted to ru away and I did that. 
I was there, in the middle of a lonely road with nothing besides my backpack full of useless things that I could never throw away, asking for a lift. 
I was tired, hungry, confused. What was I doing? What was I hopping? Someone who could takes me back home? Takes me back life? . I was there again, missing all. Suddenly I saw a car comming at me stopped in front of me. The driver was an old man, he oppenned the windows "what are you doing here honey?" He said, and continued "you're more than this", he took my backpack into his car, my heavy backpack, look at me, smiled and drove far away leaving a cloud of smoke.

I was stressed from thinking as I was going to the airport. I talked to my mom to ask her for money and she did not answer, so I started walking and walking along a straight street, obviously I did not know where I was or what to do, I walked around 4 kilometers carrying two suitcases with fear of being assaulted, and then i saw a family putting suitcases inside a car so i asked them for ride, them saw me like what happend but the women answer yes, on the way I was telling them what happened to me, arriving at the airport at last my mom answered the call and on that moment deposited money to my card. so I could eat very well and go back home safe.

One day I woke up wanting to travel to Rome, but as the destination was cruel, I remembered that I had a friend who worked in an airport, I asked him to take me on one of his trips if he was traveling to Rome, I accepted him but he told me I was traveling to Rome, I was excited, although I did not have any currency, when crossing through the part of Rome, I told myself to put on the parachute that I did not know about traveling by plane, but when I realized less, I opened the door and before throwing myself, He told me to pull the cable before touching the ground.
I managed to get to Rome by miracle inside the Coliseum, in two minutes the police stopped me and deported me to Mexico, it was very little what it was in Rome, but it was worth every second.
