Translation of ética

for a minute I blamed the burger that I had eaten at the duty free back in Cancun, but thinking a little further I recalled eating street food the night earlier, as it was Mexican independence day.
I interpret this as follows: It reflects the calm life without any hectic atmosphere. The life that these two are looking for (like they did before) is far away: Far away, beyond the river.
About the accents: This is not a mistake, it is on purpose. Please note that in Spanish some words have accents when asked in a question (I.e que, porque, qui...). Pay attention to the question mark.
