Recuerdos: El Chepe (Parte Cuatro)

This trip was epic and is turning out to need plenty of blog posts! This one is mostly just photos though, and photos which really don't do the place justice. I want to go back.

We got on the train again today and I just stared at the view until it was time to go. I've seen a lot of beautiful nature in my life (it helps to live in California) but this is one that I feel like changed me, even though I can't explain how. It is maybe like when people see the ocean for the first time (I was a baby so don't have that experience) or Yosemite for the first time (too young to remember that one also).

The train station was just a cute little wooden platform with an awning and many many women and girls selling baskets. This leg, from Divisadero to Creel, is not nearly as long as the others, Creel is a "Pueblo Magico," one of the cities or towns that the Mexican Tourism Department designates as having a special history or tradition or something like that, in an effort to bring in visitors. There are 132 of them and I think I have a new life goal.
