Well, there for a bit I felt like I was back in Canada, not quite Manitoba, though. A little more like BC, without the snow caps... A friend's family is building a house out in the small town of Yecora, located up in the mountains about 350 kms from here. The town is located pretty much straight east from San Carlos, a couple of miles from the Chihuahua border. Needless to say, judging by some of the pictures, it felt like a brief escape from Mexico. No desert. No heat. Minimal cactuses. Lots of trees (even pine forest). Rocks. The temperature only got up to the low 20's during the day with the nights going down to 10 or less. We went up there (about a six hour trip navigating the crazy mountain roads, potholes, and occasional cows that seem to like to chew the grass where there should be a shoulder) Tuesday morning bringing some building supplies for their house and just hung out until Thurday morning when we made the trip back.
It was good to have a bit of a change of pace for a while and see some new scenery but you may all be wondering when this Mexican adventure is coming to an end. Well, it seems the date has been getting pushed back further and further. What started as a September 15th date has been pushed later and later. At this point though, I'm going to be staying until Brenda (the owner of the house) returns at the beginning of November.
