LA
HIGUERA
The
Last Stop of “LA RUTA DEL CHE”…
10-12 May 2013
It was like to take part in history somehow. The feeling of being in the same
place of an idol figure where he spent last days of his life. His thoughts, his
struggles, his feelings in his last days.
La
Higuera is the name of a tree actually. The fruit is FIG. La Higuera is a very
small Bolivian village. Still small…
What
brings people here is to witness to the last stop of of a legendary man’s our century. I got the
feeling special in my heart with pity for him. Especially when I saw his last photo.
My
guide David and his father has choosen a life in this small village and made
investigations life of Ernosto Che Guevara.
WHY
“CHE”
Ernosto
Che Guevara was a man from Argentina, Buenos Aires.In Argentina, people wanted
to say something to a person or a group excilamed to the by saying “CHE” as if
saying “HEY” in Türkçe (Turkish) or in other languages. Ernosto in his days in
South America to get attention of people says “CHE!!”. For his this exclamation the people gave him a name
(nickname) “CHE”…
(I got this info first from
my couchsurfing host Maria, gracias por informacion.)
THE
LAST DAYS
After
entering Bolivia CHE disguised. He changed his hair, style and totally change in appereance with his nearly 60 gerilla comrades. He
wants to built the same kind of revolution in Bolivia.
But
Bolivia was a (still) country of poor people who would hardly understand and
would cooperate with this revolutionalist feelings and attempts. They were really struggling
with poorness and it was really hard to understand who this man was. Miners in
Potosi would be a right support to him but he couldn’t manage…
MY
VIEW
From my
perspective Ernosto Guevara’s attempt in Bolivia is nearly equal to suicide. He spent nine months in Bolivia and he lost his life in this nice country.
After
having seen this place and really felt environment and ambiance at that time, I felt really pity for this
great young man. But at the same time I made and assesment with Türkiye
Revolution and MUSTAFA KEMAL ATATÜRK.
I don’t want to go deep assesments but to
sacrify life for the people for a better world is a state that will be
respected. I respect a man who serves this purpose REALITY more than a dream.
THE
SCHOOL HE IS KILLED…
In the smal building, which was a upils school in La Higuera I felt really sorry. The ordinary small place for ending a great life. This is life…
I don’t want say more but I
captured a video which I will share with my friends. It is a small, old, poor and a great
place.
LAVANDERIA in VALLEGRANDE
I don’t have a deeply knowledge
about CHE and his life. But after seing Vallegrande Hospital Lavenderia, the only thing I will say will
be the real revolution should be in minds of people which is nearly
impossible.
How happy I am that I am a member of a nation who realizes A REAL
REVOLUTION despite contradictory history and millions of people.
RESULT
I got MY deduction…
To
travel is not just an enjoyable activities it is a gerat period of learning at the same time.
I
LEARNED a lot…
