On our trainride out of the canyon we saw a banana palm growing out of this little waterfall. You may not be able to see it, but it is there.
This is where our hotel is, right on the canyon wall. This shot is from a lookout point nearby.
Since we are leaving tomorrow, May 3rd, I think it is safe to say that our weather has been wonderful. I am always afraid to say anything like that before we are finished, in case it causes bad luck.
This picture was taken from the train. Look down and you will see the tracks below us. We will make a 180 degree turn inside a tunnel to get to that lower track.
Every day we had vendors outside our hotel. Most of them were local indians, Tarahumara. They are very quiet people and don't bargain. They live in the nearby areas in small houses or in cave areas with houses built in front. They used to only sell wares they made, but they have enlarged their inventories now.
This is the front door to the main lodge area. It is wood, hand carved and painted. Just beautiful.
This is Negrito, or little blackie. He adopted us. Particularly two women in our group who couldn't help but feed him. He would sleep in front of their room at nite, except for when he came to our room at about 4am and scratched on the door and whined to be let in. It took all Arleen could do to control herself and not let him in. Too bad because maybe he would have eaten the scorpion Duane found the next morning.
Us at the canyon, near our hotel.
Now....for the canyon views....
