We still are at the Villa Mexicana Hotel and RV Park in Creel, where we’re using their wireless internet connection. We now realize that “doing” the internet and attending the blog does take a lot of time. So, we decided to drive south for a few days before we check in again. This way, we finally make some progress toward our goal. Then we stop for a day and update our blog.
Today, we got some chores done including an oil change for the car. We visited an area overlooking the Copper Canyon. Like the Grand Canyon, it’s impossible to take good photos of this immense chasm, particularly in bright daylight. Unlike the Grand Canyon, the Copper Canyon is almost completely made up of of volcanic rock.

We also visited an area where the native Tarahumara people live. A group of children came out to greet us, and we decided to have some fun making paper airplanes for them. The Tarahumara are a tribe related to the Apache of Arizona, and still today live traditionally and by selling crafts to tourists.
Children: Who are the Rarámuri?
