slightly overestimated my capabilities

I slightly overestimated my capabilities. )) Perhaps the book about my Mexican adventures will be released a little later. For the second day now, I've been patiently assembling the accumulated material into a single structure — by parts, by chapters, by episodes, with headings, with illustrations, of course.

Maybe I'll manage to insert video into the book as well — right now I'm looking for a suitable program for that, it's impossible to do in Word, and if you happen to know software where this can be done, please advise, I really need it.

I'm set on writing a book that one would actually want to read. I want to put Value into it, if you know what I mean. Especially for those of my readers who are preparing to visit this wonderful country. And I truly believe that my modest experience will be useful to people who plan to do so in the near future.

I've visited cities such as Cancun, Playa del Carmen, Valladolid, Merida, Coatzacoalcos, Catemaco, Mexico City, Oaxaca, San Jose del Pacifico, Tula de Allende and I know a thing or two about what you can do there and with whom.

As of now, posts on the following topics are still not ready and are planned to be written:
🌱 Ayahuasca ceremony
🌵 Peyote ceremony (Hikuri)
🎪 Temazcal (steam bath)
🌀 and some posts that were written in passing during the trip and weren't properly explored, and some weren't written at all for various reasons.

I assume they will be published gradually, and the book itself might be released in, say, a couple of weeks — we'll see. Maybe it'll take a month. On one hand, I want to finish what I've started quickly, but on the other, I understand there's no rush, and it's probably better if I thoroughly recall everything, rethink it, add constructive content, and elaborate on some things in more detail, so that it's not just a simple set of notes as it is now, but becomes a coherent, sequential, and meaningful narrative.

This will be the biggest book of all previously released on the topic of travel, into which I intend to pack the entire lived experience that took up six months of my life. That, I'll tell you, is not so little. I personally perceive it as one big mini-life, which began back in 2021 and ended quite recently. And sometimes I'm horrified at how much happened to me in this seemingly short time; it was a very unusual and extraordinary experience.

And it had its consequences, reflected in my affairs, my work, my future plans, and my health as well. During this time, I understood a lot and learned a lot. And I will gladly share the knowledge I've gained with you, dear readers.

Perhaps in the future this book will also have a second edition, as was the case with the previous three, into which I will carefully incorporate my scientific analysis of disciplines such as history, archaeology, anthropology, ethnology, and even psychology — lately these topics have become close to me, especially the history of Mesoamerica — I'm studying it, I'm interested in the Indians, ancient civilizations, their history, culture, way of life, language. But that's clearly not anytime soon. Likely, for that I'll have to make another trip to the beautiful sunny country of Mexico. ☀🇲🇽
