Native Indian and his
grandchild we picked up and drove to their home
My savior,
Juan who we also picked up along the road. He came and helped me walk
down to the vehicle when I took my fall (see travelogue for this most
exciting story).
Results of my fall
Sitting around the
fire with
Mario serenading us before dinner
Vittorio, a Tarahumara indian. He won the Bolder
Boulder race, running in sandles with rubber tire soles (as all the
Tarahumara runners wear). He also did a native rain dance and hunting
dance for us.
Dave
wanted one of the straw cowboy hats worn by most of the men throughout
the area. I found this one in a gift shop and had to buy it for him.
Could you ask for a more perfect wife?
My buddy, Pancho Villa. He
stayed on my shoulder for hours (even in the bathroom).
