Getting it straight

When a man has been working hard all by himself for three weeks and next goes to town, what is it he needs?
Many fervent and loyal blog readers will scream in unison: a good massage!

So what else to do as to head to Senor Sergio Olachea Martinez?

Don Sergio has a centre in La Paz, Baja California, Mexico, he calls:

“Vida Alternativa”.

Here people come to get a relaxing or therapeutive massage.
Including shiatsu and chiropractics.

Don Sergio is a warm man making his clients feel comfortable with him instantly.
A no-nonsense and mater-of-fact attitude.

The actual massage took place in a booth decorated in a most remarkable way.
The walls were dressed with plastic fantasy flowers, huge artificial shells and an enormous sign saying: “Mi casa es su casa”.
“My home is your home”: a characteristic demonstration of the always-impressive hospitality in Mexico.

Next to the massage table was a small console on which a colour picture of the Polish Pope John Paul 2nd.

While the Pope looked on the client undressed, lay down, got a small towel put on the delicate parts for decency and the massage took off.

Some menthol cream was put around the nose and behind the ears and the strong hands of Don Sergio started to work.

It is not known if the Pope is aware of this but Don Sergio, man, he has strong and powerful hands.
The shiatsu came close to like being tortured in a prison cell.
Pressing muscles with his thumbs so they would almost snap and create doubts to ever get out alive the “Vida Alternativa”.
Next day’s headline in the newspaper:

“European photographer massaged to death”

Of course there was meanwhile a relaxing chat going on with Don Sergio.
He knew El Triple and the reputation for it being an area where pirates used to hang out and treasures are buried.

While this conversation was going on one of the most extraordinary experiences ever in life happened.
Suddenly it was realized that Don Sergio was massaging the shoulders and the feet AT THE SAME TIME...

This was most confusing and after calmed down more attention was paid to the phenomenon.
And indeed, without a doubt, there were two hands massaging the shoulders and two hands on the feet.
That is pretty scary.
Some kind of magician masseur?

Don Sergio was asked:
“Please, Don Sergio, tell me you are not alone.
That there is someone else.
Please!
If not, what was that cream you have put around the nose earlier?”

And fortunately an assistant had silently been coming in and was doing his part of the body.

Later, this assistant was needed to do their way of Mexican chiropractics.
While talking in a relaxed way they would take the body in some weird strangling fashion in their hands and arms and totally unexpectedly harmoniously and in complete unison pull vigorously and suddenly so the whole skeleton sounded and felt like every bone was put in a new place.

Meanwhile a new client had arrived and Don Sergio was hiking between two booths now.
Do some massage in one and run to the next for some massage in the other.
This gave a whole new dimension to the deal of 60 minutes for 60 USD.

As it happened the client in the other booth was a young girl.
And it could be heard what a charming personality Don Sergio had.
Saying sweet nothings to her.

But nevertheless he did his way of doing a massage on the girl's body pressing almost violently here, there and everywhere.
The girl was an expressive one.
She loudly screamed and laughed and moaned and grunted.
“Aaaaaiiiii, Don Sergio!!!”
“Caramba, oooooooooohhhhhhhh!!!!!”
“Dios mio, eeeeeeeeehhhhhhhh!!!!!!”

While waiting for Don Sergio to interrupt his treatment of the girl to continue with his first client, it was innocently realised how erotic in fact these sounds of the girl were.
It was like some soft sado-masochistic porno movie without image.
And the imagination of the photographer was able to create those missing images easily.
Before anything could have avoided it, the towel Don Sergio so prudently had draped on the crucial part of the body was erected into a circus tent.
What an embarrassing situation…
How to explain this to Don Sergio?

Quickly the mind was forced to think of the courier UPS who until now has not been able in over 14 days to bring a small parcel from Texas, USA, to La Paz, Mexico.
These thoughts made the circus tent quickly change into a sheet-cover without its mattress.

Surprisingly Don Sergio had a tool for people suffering of scoliosis.
He claimed it was from Japan and it consists of an object as long as the spine.
It has two rubber ridges that stick out and in between fits exactly the spine.
One has to lie down on the object and this forces the spine to become straight and give up its s-shape.
It is very painful but it seems to make sense.
According to Don Sergio one has to lie down on this scoliosis-tool 10 minutes for 10 days each.
He promised he could get another one and now it is seriously considered to purchase it and use this smart thing.
To straighten things out once and for all.
