Hoy es un día especial para mí. Después de casi un año de iniciarme en Steemit, con la ayuda de todos ustedes he podido llegar al bonito número 60 en mi reputación dentro de la comunidad. Por eso quiero celebrarlo contándoles sobre este viaje que salvó mi vida.


![el viaje 2.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmQN6YP1nDpZVD68dFvJAJEdj1GJFsP32wDpVLn4RrQ6C5/el%20viaje%202.jpg)

Hace 10 años trabajaba como fotógrafa en  un periódico de Cuba. En un inicio resultó una buena experiencia, para aprender más de fotografía y viajar por toda la isla. Pero una vez que aprendí lo que necesitaba comencé a sentirme atrapada. La rutina solo se rompía de vez en cuando y nunca lo suficiente como para seguir soportando los mismos eventos. Era el principal periódico del país, si me iba de él, ¿a dónde iría a ganarme la vida como fotógrafa? Esos pensamientos y otros un poco más existenciales rondaban mi mente hace diez años cuando conocí a Erasmito y él nos invitó a un viaje, a mi mejor amiga y a mí.

![el viaje 3.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmcWoPWv73RdxUrQLTZPocFXHGAPL55HfPdH9zrZdcrXyn/el%20viaje%203.jpg)

Me escapé del periódico sin pensarlo dos veces. Nos montamos en un camión viejo, como casi todos los autos de La Habana, que nos llevó hasta Pinar del Río. Luego montamos en otro camión, un poco más destartalado que el anterior, que nos dejó en Viñales; allí esperamos en una de esas paradas que no tienen señalización, pero todos los del pueblo saben que ahí se detienen los carros que pueden moverlos hacia otros pueblos. Esperamos. Esperamos. Hasta que apareció un carrito que, a punto de comenzar a llover, nos dejó en otro pueblo, cerca de las Minas de Matahambre. Nuestro amigo Erasmo conocía por allá a una familia que vivía en una pequeña montaña, ni siquiera les llegaba la energía eléctrica, sobrevivían de lo que sembraban y, como casi toda la gente en Pinar del Río, eran la mar de hospitalarios.


![el viaje 4.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmUMTrSTa3NzvQdnjRPLztb366i38ofAAJmpnhwC1uco4i/el%20viaje%204.jpg)

Esa tarde serví de madre sustituta, por un par de horas, a un pichón de sinsonte que cayó de su nido con la lluvia y necesitaba un poco de calor para recuperarse antes de subirlo de vuelta al árbol. También tuve la oportunidad de ver y escuchar por primera y única vez a un Tocororo, el ave nacional de Cuba. Y nos alumbramos con chismosas, esas lámparas que hacen en Cuba a base de kerosene, y Erasmito se fumó un tabaco a pesar de que no le gusta el cigarro. Preferimos dormir en carpas, me desperté bien temprano y encontré un par de hongos a los que quise fotografiar por su belleza.


![el viaje 5.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmeBKoLnVBeoKfnTGUskigPsPxnsELS9gRTDz6D55MeNsW/el%20viaje%205.jpg)

Anter de terminar la sesión de fotografía mi amigo me sacudió el hombro entusiasmado. ¿Yo sabía lo que había encontrado? Me habló de los efectos de esa clase de hongos y me propuso comer de ellos. A mí me agradaba la yerba que algunas veces había podido conseguir, pero de hongos no sabía nada y me asustaba la idea. Pero antes de terminar ese día, luego de recorrer  una docena de kilómetros dentro de aquellas montañas, accedí a tener ese encuentro con la planta, como quiera estaban mis amigos allí para cuidarme y quizá encontraba el cambio que estaba necesitando.


![el viaje 6.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmRhUgXuY6kUGsHLsEVDBXiZG3eA3KPTxgpHQMZWJHqwBf/el%20viaje%206.jpg)

Varias personas me han contado sobre sus experiencias con esta clase de hongos. Para algunos fue un buen viaje, para otros uno malo, o diferente; no he escuchado a nadie que se haya vuelto adicto a ellos pero sí he sabido de unos cuantos a los que les mejoró la vida. Esa noche, sin dudarlo, ha sido la mejor de mi vida...y he tenido noches muy interesantes...pero lo que vi, sentí y escuché, me sacó casi totalmente de esta realidad llena de miedos y egoísmos. Me devolvió el amor.

Today is a special day for me. After almost a year of being initiated in Steemit, with the help of all of you I have been able to reach the beautiful number 60 in my reputation within the community. That's why I want to celebrate by telling you about this trip that saved my life.
10 years ago I worked as a photographer in a newspaper in Cuba. In the beginning it was a good experience, to learn more about photography and travel around the island. But once I learned what I needed, I began to feel trapped. The routine only broke from time to time and never enough to continue supporting the same events. It was the main newspaper in the country, if I left him, where would I go to earn a living as a photographer? Those thoughts and others a little more existential were around my mind ten years ago when I met Erasmito and he invited us to a trip, to my best friend and to me.
I ran away from the newspaper without thinking twice. We rode in an old truck, like almost all the cars in Havana, which took us to Pinar del Río. Then we rode in another truck, a little more ramshackle than the previous one, which left us in Viñales; there we wait in one of those stops that do not have signage, but everyone in town knows that the cars stop there that can move them to other towns. We wait. We wait. Until a cart appeared that, about to start raining, left us in another town, near the Mines of Matahambre. Our friend Erasmo knew there a family that lived in a small mountain, they did not even get the electric power, they survived what they sowed and, like almost all the people in Pinar del Río, they were the sea of ​​hospitable people.

![el viaje 8.jpg](https://cdn.steemitimages.com/DQmbXZt4CoFnSz3ZgR1bNULC8pJLT2FYc4DuyT2NorQcgfH/el%20viaje%208.jpg)

That afternoon I served as a surrogate mother, for a couple of hours, to a mockingbird pigeon that fell from its nest in the rain and needed a little heat to recover before climbing it back to the tree. I also had the opportunity to see and hear for the first and only time a Tocororo, the national bird of Cuba. And we lit up with gossips, those lamps made in Cuba based on kerosene, and Erasmito smoked a cigar despite not liking the cigar. We prefer to sleep in tents, I woke up very early and found a couple of mushrooms that I wanted to photograph because of their beauty.
Before finishing the photography session my friend shook my shoulder enthusiastically. I knew what I had found? He told me about the effects of that kind of mushrooms and suggested I eat them. I liked the grass that I had sometimes been able to get, but I did not know anything about mushrooms and I was afraid of the idea. But before finishing that day, after traveling a dozen kilometers within those mountains, I agreed to have that encounter with the plant, however my friends were there to take care of me and maybe I found the change I needed.
Several people have told me about their experiences with this kind of mushrooms. For some it was a good trip, for others a bad one, or a different one; I have not heard anyone who has become addicted to them but I have known several who improved their lives. That night, without hesitation, has been the best of my life ... and I had very interesting nights ... but what I saw, felt and heard, took me almost completely out of this reality full of fears and selfishness. He gave me back love.

Wow - your images are stunning and I just NEEDED to read down in the English bit to know the story of the baby mockingbird.  Yes, the magic of the mushrooms opens the mind and heart to the LOVE that is always there.  Your pictures make me need to lace on my hiking boots and head to the airport....  or to jump in my truck.  Thanks for joining is in the @ecotrain.  Perhaps you'd like to post in response to our newest challenge?  About black holes and what takes us out of them?  Maybe travel AND mushrooms and love can do that.  The Question of the Week is a regular @ecotrain 'thing' - pictures, video, poems, art and stories welcomed!  https://steempeak.com/ecotrain/@ecotrain/ecotrain-question-of-the-week-how-do-you-get-out-and-stay-out-of-an-emotional-hole

Let's do it! Grab an old car and go to the field or the mountain, hehe. I am very happy that you have stopped to read my story and that, besides, you know what I am talking about.
Thank you very much for the support and for the link for the challenge, I'm excited about the topic so I'm already working on it! I also joined your manually curated trail! See you!

Hay que ser muy valiente para un cambio tan grande. Salir de tu zona de confort y seguridad para ir a un lugar tan inhóspito y primario exige mucha valentía. Te admiro y comprendo que encontraste la felicidad en la vida mas simple.
