Creel, Mexico

HURRICANE KENNA
There is a huge hurricane due to hit the Pacific coast of Mexico today so we are forced to rethink our plans since we were due to spend some time on the beach in a town called Mazatlan. We were supposed to catch the Copper Canyon train to Los Mochis today but as soon as we're finished in the Internet Cafe we will head over to the bus station to see if we have some other options. The easiest would be to stay here a little longer as the weather is still wonderful but chilly. Creel is at 2,200m above sea level so the days are cool and the nights are cold.

Yesterday we went into the canyon for a few hours and saw some of the indigenous people and spectacular scenery. I even had a go on the 'balancing rock' which is a huge rock on a bluff that tilts when you move from side to side. My knees almost gave way on me at one stage but it was a very thrilling experience - I hope the photo comes out.
