Memories of a very melancholic week with the visit of the training ship Cuauhtémoc. 🇲🇽

From the moment it arrived, with the colors of the Mexican flag waving in the distance, it showed the strength of its journey — which began in Mexico, crossed through Asia, and reached this corner of the world.

Later, at the gala dinner organized by the Mexican Navy, we had the opportunity to talk and learn more about the experience of the 260 sailors, sharing with them the feeling of being far from home.

Its departure was marked by a patriotic farewell ceremony.
Sharing this moment with other Mexicans was a beautiful experience.
Amid tears and a deep longing to return to our homeland, we said goodbye to the ship with full hearts, as we listened to those folkloric notes that, even if just for a moment, transported us back to Mexico.
Hearing those melodies over 10,500 kilometers away is truly a gift.

Solidarity and support in this moment to Captain Víctor Hugo Molina Pérez.

Recuerdos de una semana muy melancólica con la visita del buque escuela Cuauhtémoc. 🇲🇽

Desde su llegada, ondeando a lo lejos los colores de la bandera, mostró la fortaleza de su travesía que inició en México, recorrió Asia y llegó hasta este rincón del mundo.

Luego, en la cena de gala organizada por la Secretaría de Marina, tuvimos la oportunidad de conversar y conocer más sobre la experiencia de los 260 marinos, compartiendo con ellos el sentimiento de la distancia.

Su partida estuvo marcada por una ceremonia patriótica de despedida.Compartir este momento con otros mexicanos fue una experiencia preciosa.
En medio lágrimas y un profundo anhelo por regresar a nuestra tierra, despedimos al buque con el corazón lleno al escuchar esas notas folclóricas que nos transportaron, aunque solo por un momento, de vuelta a México. Es un regalo oír esas melodías a más de 10,500 kilómetros de distancia.

Solidaridad y apoyo en este momento al capitán Víctor Hugo Molina Pérez.
