Chihuahua, Mexico

AYE CARRUMBA
I was expecting to see hundreds of the little things all over the city, but alas we saw no Chihuahua's in Chihuahua. We only stayed there for a couple of days - this morning we caught the bus to Creel just outside the Copper Canyon - but for those two days we neglected to put our watches back one hour. Both mornings we woke up and thought "what a sleepy town this is, there's no-one about", and each night we were kept awake late by people talking and laughing at all hours (when in fact it was only 10pm).

We have decided to stay a couple of nights here in Creel and do a tour out to part of the Copper Canyon tomorrow. The Canyon is about four times bigger than the Grand Canyon so seeing all of it will take some time. On Friday we are going to catch the train through the Canyon to the seaside town of Los Mochis and then head further down the coast. For anyone following the itinerary, we are skipping La Paz because we were going to have to rush too much.

SPANGLISH
Sara's Spanish has been very useful so far and it's getting better with each passing day. This morning we asked someone for directions to the bus station and Sara understood the answer completely which is not as easy as it sounds because there was a gas station, a left turn, a right turn and a Chihuahua (which we never saw) involved.
