Among cowboys and indios

...And I arrived in Creel, a little mountain town - at 2400 mt high - near the Copper Canyon area. My original plan was to take the train to Los Mochis but checking out at tourist info I knew there were better trips to do (I'm always scheptical about Lonely Planet suggests on train trips: I was in Norway and there was the most scenic train route in the world, in Alaska the best trip by train in the world, and in Mexico? Barranca del Cobre they say is the most impressive train route in the world... But I had already experienced that train trips cannot be panoramic as a car road and they also don't give you a chance to take photos). So I joined a group of cool guys I've been lucky to meet there (Andrea from Germany, Soeren from Denmark, Maria & Jussi from Finland and Will from Usa: thanx you all, see u soon in Europe!!!) that were renting a jeep to drive through Barranca del Cobre and Sierra moutains. What a wonderful sceneries and what a great road that was!!! For the paved part of the road I stayed in the open rear side of pick-up; even if not so comfortable I really enjoyed it! I loved to taste the Mexican warm sun upon my skin and the wind blowing to my hairs with an electric blue sky surrounding all over me... When the road became dusty and dumpy I entered the jeep to look at the amazing views on the way to Batopilas - a quiet and cozy mining town settled in the middle of mountains (and in the middle of marijuana fields too...). Here is where Tarahumare indios live; I've seen many of them and I cryed to have left at home the proper lenses for taking good photos to their colorful clothes and people. Not too bad, next time!
