Always knew that one day they would have to leave his mother. Forget those nights when she did hear the sounds of the night, imagining stories behind every bark, every car, every little mermaid springs creaking bed with groans neighbor his wife: more and more intense as they approached the summit of the hill that forms when two newlyweds off the Tele begin to believe that there is paradise.

knew that one day they would have to leave his mother, and his country. It would not be for long, but in a fit of globalizationlización try to muddy the culture of the world, no matter what had to be at risk of losing some of its own essence. There had to travel for forty years in the wilderness, or eat the manna from heaven busiest border crossing in the world without losing their lives drowning in the sands of the desert or in the currents of ri , o.

But if you had Antones that give off: Schrodinger predicts can not be certain of anything, not even the specific location of the electron around the atomic nucleus. Quantum physics is a sublime and elegant theory, but has one major flaw (maybe not): no one understands its true sense, why the nature of things is just ; pure rebellion. Even knew Dirac, Bohr and Heisenberg, so much less I hope decrypt.

But if that Friday would be the same as the other Friday, receive a phone call from one of my relatives on the other side of the angels , and maybe this time if accederíaa visit, and who had a very tempting proposal: the Sunday morning clutch no car and we'd head to the mountains of the San Gabriel Mountains, there, where it lies, cold
imposing Mount San Jacinto
,
show me quite proudly frontline research in one of the most prestigious scientific institutions in the world:
California Institute of Technology.
(the famous,
Caltech) toured the facilities, the size of about four blocks together, a rather small, with a mixture of ancient buildings as a convent, and modern laboratories world class, representing in every sense of the phrase 'In the good, little bit. " Do not mention the names of these brilliant individuals, for obvious reasons, but at some point in their lives will be recognized in Mexico for a successful discovery. (I can proudly say that both are graduates of the same university where I study in Mexico, and one of them has been
teacher assistant (TA) of a recent Nobel Prize in physics). After listening carefully to the research of each, we headed to the famous hall of physics where the betting among many famous physicists, including the peculiar wager between s.hawking k.thorne and information about black holes. Finally, we said goodbye after going to lunch at a salad bar and pasta, and while taking the train to the ml wind rises. We arrived at my aunt's house in less than 20 minutes, and her husband is already preparing things for tomorrow. He greets me with enough taste and assigned me a water bottle and asked me if I bring a coat thick enough to withstand a frost a few degrees below zero, I reply that I have not tested my jacket below 5 degrees and examines her and tells me it's more than enough. We distributed supplies from our packs, four of turkey sandwiches and tuna, two oranges, two pears and four liters of water (two per person, plus a reserve of whiskey in case of having to overnight on the way). The loadrecently spent a lot of things in my head, I mainly worried about the low levels of oxygen at the top, and that as he had decided to go to Caltech the day before, did not have time to do a warmup on Saturday . Either way, it comforted me that we would not be more than an hour on top, and conseguiente mountain sickness should not be present.
And we even before sunrise. It was pretty cool, quizása about five degrees below zero and saw the water frozen on the steps of the ranger office. The permit process was simple and the process was free. And there was a groupeve that the temperatures dropped so dramatically in the fall, so that the girls were annoying. We said goodbye and took the scenic route, which indicated 5 miles to the top of the hill. My uncle would not achieve confirmed to arrive before noon, we were taking a step of 1 mile for 15 minutes, but not yet started the real climb. This time I took the lead in the group because I was pretty full, and so tried to tell myself that I was enjoying the road. We reached the first built of stone, at an inclination of say 30 degrees, which was nearly a mile, according tomap, so this part was the first test. It took me almost 30 minutes to climb this part of the way, until suddenly the view changed dramatically into a ravine where one could appreciate the true altitude of the mountain, even I could see the away one part of the urban sprawl of Los Angeles
and deep down, the sea .... and the desert.
I came to this place about 10 minutes before my uncles, and here was one of the climbers we had seen in the forest guard checkpoint. He wore rather sophisticated equipment and after a slight talk I assumed (literally) who had returneddo a five-day trip in the mountains of Machu Pichu in Peru, one of the highest in the Americas, and that his girlfriend had just for the party to kilimanjaro beat the winter snows. I asked him because he wore a backpack so heavy, and he said he was training for an adventure of more than 15 000 ft, which allowed him to reach this mountain shortly before the 11 000ft, which represented quite acceptable training. My uncles came and rested for 20 minutes. We took some pictures, and follow our step. The calculation showed that we would reach the top in about two hours, maybeegaba. I started thinking that perhaps my courage to make a rapid rate, had changed course at some point on the road. But I remembered that it would be highly unlikely that such a situation and had a mental image of the map and that part of the road was very narrow as to be lost. I started whistling, and someone I delvolvió the whistle, but had come from above, and it was someone in the group that went before us. I thought maybe one of my uncles had decided to give up, or worse, had been injured with a stone, or by low levels of ox & iacute; oxygen after crossing the barrier of 9000ft. I do not know, but I took a gamble and took the road back. And it was not long to find the guy with whom I spoke at the previous stop, and asked if it was my first time there (chance because I was down when it's something you should not do if you plan to arrive to the top, especially when you take good care of your oxygen). I said yes, and told me it was not long, but still had an elevation of approximately half a mile stone, and about 15 minutes from where we were. I asked if he had seen my uncles andby the way, told us that although the cold was unusual for this time of year, the view was amazing and it was possible to reach the top because the sun had melted the snow stone area just before the summit.
Suddenly, we saw a sign indicating the arrival of the 10 500 ft, for the first time in nearly three hours, we saw the precious summit of Mount San Jacinto a few meters from where we were. We spotted the hostel, which was used by a group of hikers who had decided to spend the night, but the warmth of the hut had protected them from a safe hyperthermia. They were 2 women and 4 Caramba
