Adventures in Macondo

Picture
An early morning in April, while the Caribbean air was still fresh, I was on my way to catch the bus to Aracataca, a sleepy little town at about an hour’s drive from the sea, squashed between mountains and the swamp. The tropical heat that challenges the mind’s jurisdiction over the senses converting the people around the equator into a slow paced and joyful society, would incite my inevitable daily quest for shade as soon as the merciless sun would rise. 
"​You must have been dreaming,” the officers insisted. 
“Nothing has happened in Macondo, nothing has ever happened,
and nothing will ever happen. 
This is a happy town.” 

One Hundred Years of Solitude 
Gabriel Garcia Marquez
