The "Day of the Dead" celebration began, and many relatives living in the community gathered at the cabin attached to the side of the ranch.　The taste of the meal and the many people who had gathered, such as stewed papaya prepared by my mother since the morning and rabbit meat prepared by my friend, was exceptional and a good memory.　While playing chess with my friend's nephew-in-law, he learned English, and I learned some simple Spanish.

「死者の日」のお祝いが始まり、地域に住んでいるたくさんの親戚一同が牧場の横に併設している小屋に集まってきました。　朝からお母さんが準備していたパパイヤの煮込み物、友人が準備したウサギの肉を使ったシチューなど、集まったたくさんの方と一緒に食事をするとその味はまた格別でいい思い出になりました。　友人の義理の甥っ子と一緒にチェスをしながら、彼は英語を勉強し、わたしは簡単なスペイン語を教えてもらいました。

It was a celebration that clearly showed the family ties that Mexicans cherish.　This "Day of the Dead" is a festival to make offerings to ancestors and for the dead souls, and the culture says that the souls of the dead return to our living world on this day, and the souls of the dead spend time together.　This culture is really similar to the Japanese Obon celebration, and I felt that the ancestor worship in Mexico is very similar to what we do in Japan.　This idea of ancestor worship strengthens the bonds of family and relatives, and it reminded me of my own childhood memories of going back to my parent's house to greet my relatives and spend Obon with them.

メキシコ人が大切にする家族のつながりがよく分かるお祝いでした。　この、「死者の日」は先祖供養を行うお祭りで、死者の魂がこの日生きている我々の世に帰ってきて、死者の魂がともに時間を過ごすと言った文化です。　この文化は本当に日本のお盆のお祝いと似ていて、メキシコで行う先祖崇拝と日本で行うものととても似ているなと感じました。　この先祖崇拝の考えは、家族や親せきのつながりをより強くするもので、わたしが子供の頃経験した両親の実家に帰って親戚に挨拶をし、一緒にお盆を過ごした思い出を思い出しました。

After our feast, we were really full and decided to go for a little after-dinner walk.　My friend's in-laws run a very large piece of land as a ranch.　It is a really large area, and in the past there used to be a lot more trees than there are now, and they have cleared the land little by little until it looks like it does today.　My friend's niece and nephew took me to a large ranch behind their cabin.　It was a little hilly, and we climbed it together.　My friend's niece picked some beautiful flowers to show me.　As we all climbed the hill together, the sun began to tilt slightly to the west, changing the color of the sunset every second.　It was truly a beautiful sunset and one of my best memories.

ご馳走を食べた後、本当にお腹がいっぱいになって、少し食後の散歩に行くことになりました。　友人の義理両親はとても広大な土地を牧場として運営しています。　本当に広い土地で、昔は木々が今よりたくさん生えていたようで、少しづつ開墾し現在の様な土地になったようです。　友人の姪と甥がわたしを連れて、小屋の裏に広がる大きな牧場へ連れて行ってくれました。　少し丘になっていて、一緒にその丘を登ることになりました。　友人の姪がきれいな花を摘んで、見せてくれました。　みんなで一緒に丘に登った時、少しづつ太陽が西に傾き始め、刻々と夕焼けの色を変えていきました。　本当にきれいな夕焼けで、最高の思い出になりました。

While running this ranch, my friend is also considering building a shelter for shelter dogs on this large piece of land.　Listening to my friend's dream, I rediscovered how he has been making steady progress toward his big dream little by little, as he has been doing since his student days, and I wanted to support him so that his dream will come true someday.　In Mexico, the concept of pets has not yet taken root, and the streets are filled with stray dogs.　Many times, I saw dogs that were sick, and hungry, and I saw dogs that were so hungry and were so skinny.　It was a wonderful dream for me to imagine such dogs running free in this large land, running a shelter for shelter dogs that my friend is thinking of.　As I looked at this large piece of land, I vividly remember thinking, "I wish I could do something to help others by fulfilling my own dream."

友人はこの牧場を経営するかたわら、この広大な土地を使って保護犬のシェルターを作ろうと検討しているようです。　この広い土地を見下ろすように大きな家を建てる計画を立てている様で、そんな友人の夢を聞いていると、学生時代から変わらず大きな夢に向けて少しづつ着実に進んでいる姿を再発見し、彼の夢がかなうように応援したいなと思いました。　メキシコではまだまだ、ペットと言う概念が根付いておらず、街には野良犬があふれています。　病気にかかっている犬や、お腹を空かせてがりがりになった犬などを何度も目にしました。　そのような犬が、わたしの友人が考えている保護犬のシェルターを運営し、この広い土地で自由に走る姿を想像すると素晴らしい夢だなと感じました。　わたしもなにか自分の夢を叶えることで、他の方の手助けになる何かを叶えることが出来たらなと、この広い土地を見ながら思ったのをありありと思い出します。
