When the universe sends signs...

It's been a year since I've been back from Mexico. In this year I've done everything I could to forget the beautiful indigenous I've ever met, but it's something beyond me. So I decide to go back and find him.

I've sent him a letter that I go without waiting for an answer landing at Cancún Airport, and of course no one expects me. The only clue I have is some P.O. Box number and a bookstore that a friend of his, Alejandro, works. Exhausted from a 2-day flight through New York and Miami, I arrive at the bookstore and Señor Alejandro has no idea what I'm talking about. I can feel my blood freezing. Alone in Cancún and I have no idea where my great love is.

Suddenly a man shows up behind me.

"Do you need help?"

"I'm looking for a man and I don't know how to find him."

"Do you love him?"

I say "yes"

How little I knew then about love...

"I will help you" he says to me "because I believe that helping others love will come back to me.

So little I knew about love...

"What do you know about him?"

"Just the P.O. box"

"Great in the same post office I have my locker too, let's go."

Of course they don't give us the address. We find the manager. He gives us the address. We go to his place. He's moved out. Only the owner knows where he is. I'm buying a phone card. We're calling. The owner is not there. I'm getting a breakdown. The strange man tells me to go to his house and rest. I followed him. I did not fear.

"I have an idea" he tells me after a while.

"The Cancún has 2 radio stations. But only one has ratings. We'll put an ad in it. "

Once more out on a payphone. Of course the station does not accept ads from the phone. We're taking a cab. We reach the radio station and I'm in a state of collapse. He's putting me in a cab. It’s raining... And suddenly, with the little Spanish I knew then, I hear the music program stop and a voice saying "Mari from Greece is looking for Mario. Anyone who has any information, call the hotel...

I'm not listening anymore. My tears come together with the rain... I go back to the hotel and fall asleep without dreams, a sleep that is interrupted by the sound of the phone...

"I'm Mario's cousin" and he tells me he's in Mexico City!!!

I'm depressed... I have made such a great trip for nothing... I meet the strange man: "I promise you I will find him"!

I came back to Greece defeated. But when 10 days later my phone rang in the middle of the night, I knew... He was found! But... That's another story.
