Hola from Richard

Buenos Dias, this week finds our intrepid travelers, Richard and Barb in Mexico. Here is a message.

This morning we are in the small town of Los Mochis http://maps.google.com/maps?hl=es&q=los+mochis&um=1&ie=UTF-8&sa=X&oi=geocode_result&resnum=1&ct=title near the Sea of Cortez. It's 90-90 here (90 degrees, 90% humidity.)

We spent all of yesterday flying out of the way to get here. We went from Mpls, east to Detroit, then west and south to Mexico City. Then north and west to Los Mochis. Which is a small city mostly built on agriculture. So far, it seems it's just like the US here. All of the restaurant workers and janitorial workers are Hispanic. Muy interesante, no?

This afternoon we're headed for El Fuerte to get on the train which eventually will take us to the rim of the Copper Canyon.

They are taking an REI trip here is the link I should have shared this a couple of weeks ago and we all could have gone along. Pero esta muy caliente para mi!!
