BARRANCAS DEL COBRE
After reaching my destination, I explore the area some then notice ominous clouds dumping rain to the east. I head back down to the hotel then hike along with a few others from my group to an overhang opposite of where I had just come from.We head back in as the skies continue to darken. Before dinner I consume one too many piña coladas followed by some red wine while sitting on my room's balcony watching the sun set. This makes for a late start the following morning. I do snap a few photos around the hotel before heading out.As I'd hiked up the day before, this morning I decide to hike down. There is a trail leading to a Tarahumara village but once there I feel like a trespasser, so I decide to explore away from the village. A take some assorted photos. The night before our guide had brought in two Tarahumara as part of a discussion, a woman in her eighties and a girl of six. The girl, after being very timid at first, kept going back to the last row of people where it turns out they were stuffing her pockets full of dollar bills. She also started playing a game with the woman seated in front of me, which lit up her face. It was a wonderful moment and I had left my camera in my room, violating my first rule of travel: Always have a camera.
