El Secuestro

I will write a short description in spanish first for all of my friends who have not been informed because it has all been in english.


   Primero, quiero que sepan que estoy bien de veras.  Hace unos dias yo fui secuestrada en Pozo de Gamboa, Zacatecas.  Me interceptaron dos hombres en un camioneta y se les echaron la bici detras y yo adentro.  Me cubrieron la cara con mi bufanda y me dijeron que iban a matar me y que querrian dinero.  Yo estuve tranquila, no llore, no grite, nada y eso me ayudo muchisimo.  Fuimos a un camino de terraceria y se prendieron una fogata y se les tiraron todas de mis cosas en el alumbre.  Se quemaron todo.  Me preguntaban por el nip de mi tarjeta de credito, y se les di.  Me quitaban de mis pants y uno intento a violar me, pero le dije que tengo sida (no es cierto) y me dejo.  Fuimos a un lugar en el desierto y quedo el alto con migo mientras se fue el chaparro para sacar dinero de un cajero automatico.  En el desierto el alto me dijo su nombre, donde vive, y que tiene 2 hijos y una esposa.  Es lo persona mas estupido que he encontrado.  Despues de una hora y media, el alto se prendio una fogata para el frio y me dejo.  No me dijo nada, solo se fue.  Yo pense, pues ahora es EL momento para irme, y yo fui caminando hasta pozo de gamboa para buscar ayuda.  Encontre algunas personas y una me presto su telefono para marcar a mis padres y un espacio en su casa.  En la mañana me llevo a la policia, y yo estuve con ellos y con migracion por mas que 30 horas.  Ahora estoy con unps amigos mientras espero para mi vuelo a los estados.  Y si tienes preguntas o quieres mas de la historia, manda me un mensaje y te cuento todo. 

   Ok, so here´s what happened:    First you all should know that I´m totally fine and that I´m also very safe.  A few days ago I was riding from Villa Santo Domingo in San Luis Potosi to the city of Zacatecas in the state of Zacatecas.  I was about 20 kilometers from the city and I had been riding all day, some 9 hours or so.  I stopped to take some photos at the bottom of a hill, Zacatecas is really fucking gorgeous, and a truck pulled up in front of my bike.  Two guys got out and grabbed my bike, threw it in the back of the truck, and threw me in the front.  I had managed to grab my gps and press the 911 button before they took me, which was a pretty lucky thing.  They covered my face with my scarf and shoved my head down so no one could see me in the truck.  They told me they wanted money, that they didn´t want me to say anything at all, and that they would kill me if I didn´t cooperate.  I stayed totally calm, I didn´t cry or scream and that helped me out a lot. One of the guys put the gps on the dashboard thinking it was a camera (what luck) until he inspected it further and figured out it was a satellite transmitter and that the cops were coming.  He threw it out the window and we headed down a dirt road.  They hopped out of the truck and searched me for money, asked me where my wallet was and how much money I had in it.  I had about 170 pesos, that´s like 15 dollars, not much.  They pulled off my shorts to rape me, but I told them I had aids (not true) and they decided it was a bad idea after a little while of arguing and my convincing them.  They lit a fire and threw all my stuff in it.  They burned everything except the bike and my wallet which had my passport, and bank cards in it.  I gave them my pin number and told them how to take money out of an atm, but they were the stupidest people I have ever met and weren´t able to do it.  We left the fire and they drove me into the desert where the tall one stayed with me and the short one went into town to try and get the money.  He led me through the desert by my hand while I was pantsless and running into every cactus that we went by.  We sat under a tree and I introduced myself, asked him who he was, talked about the stars, and smoked a cigarette.  He told me his name, where he lives, and that he has 2 kids and a wife.  Stupid fucker.  After an hour and a half or so of waiting for the other guy to get back, he asked me if I was cold and I said yes.  He lit a fire, and he walked away.  He didn´t say anything to me.  I waited and called out to him to make sure he was gone.  So after a few minutes I got up and started walking over the hill to see where I was.  I walked through a field and saw some lights of a town wich turned out to be Pozo de Gamboa.  I wandered into town half naked but wrapped in a blanket that the guy had left for me and started to knock on doors asking for help.  Everyone told me to go away, but I kept on walking and knocking.  Some people walked by and shined a flashlight in my face asking me what I was doing sitting on the doorstep of a house that wasn´t mine.  I told them to go away, it was a group of about 5 men and one woman.  I didn´t feel like dealing with any more men.  But they didn´t go away, and they softened up a bit so I told them my story and that I needed help.  One of them let me use his phone to call my parents, and then he offered me a spot in his house for the night.  He was a totally nice person and I stayed there with his daughter.  In the morning he brought me to the police station where I stayed filling out paperwork and being shoved around from one office to the other until I was brought to immigration.  I was in some stupid office for more than 30 hours and it was pretty frustrating and aweful to be stuck after being kidnapped.  They wouldn´t let me go outside, and really all I wanted to do was sit in the sun and relax.  Anyway, so after all of this I actually have a pretty positive outlook on the whole thing, and I´m staying with some incredible friends that are taking care of me.  This has been an amazing adventure and I have met some seriously awesome people and seen some incredible things.  It´s just too bad I can´t share the rest of my photos with you, Zacatecas is beautiful.  Take my word for it.  I have left out some details and some drama and if you´d like to know it send me a message and I´ll fill you in.  It makes a better verbal story than a written one, well really I just don´t have the energy to write it all.  Maybe some day. I´ll see you all in the coming week.  Adios.
