Gloria, Michelle, Lili, Kristen and Eli enjoy Momo's
Down in the dry river bed was a group of men on horses. In this picture, the horse is dancing, rather rhythmically.
The cowboys watch the dancing horse.
This man was creating pots, without a wheel, just with his bare hands, a bucket of clay, a container of water and lots of patience.
Eli and Magda check out some of his masterpieces.
Gloria plays the "drum" which we later found out was actually meant to be a seat. Oops. We were going to buy it for Limón but were disheartened when we realized it's true use.
Many of the activities involved traditional dances from different regions of Sonora. I am not sure what this man was going to do, but we never saw his eyes and the girls tried to engage him in conversation, but he refused to speak. (Maybe he just speaks an indigenous dialect?) Kristen said, "I am pretty sure he is the scariest man I have ever seen."

Looks like an eventful outing. The potter without a wheel is a talented patient man. We now have a vivid picture of what "eyes in the back of the head" means.
Love you!
Todd and Teresa
Amy/Gloria: Thanks for thinking of me. Some other time a life-mate for my drum will come along and they will beat happily ever after.

Ancient cultures can be scary! I'm glad we have angels protecting us from the "evil" in the world. We pray for your protection too!
GOD BLESS!
I am glad that you guys had a good time. It makes me miss CVE soo much. I hope these 7 weeks go by fast, because this city is not my home. I love you and miss you
