Wed, 10 January 2007, Huatabampito (State of Sonora)

Today we drove around the area checking our markets and looking for Maya Indian crafts. We ended up in an Indian village, way out in the desert. Neat village, no paved streets but the village and the citizens were immaculate. We could not find any shops selling the crafts so we stopped at a regular shop to ask. To our surprise, the lady closed her shop and she and her 2 year old got in the car with us and took us to several of her friends who made the articles. These are normally sent to Alamos where they are sold to tourists. Everyone was super nice and we picked up several nice things. It was a nice trip and we got to see some things that very few people ever do.
