Glad to be back, Quiapo

January 11, 2007

Not that I haven't been here for ages.

Only last year I was here, for work, in the middle of the swarm of devotees of the Black Nazarene. Which means I haven't really been here but to just a square meter of Quiapo or even less, moving only to where the limited space would let me move.

Today, however, Quiapo is back to its usual crowd with enough space for vendors and buyers, fortune tellers and vagrants and pickpockets. I join them and am now walking towards the same street I went to more than six years ago for one special mission. Something that would have changed my life.
