My friends Alberto and Francia

Yesterday I was waiting for a group to emerge from the Sangres here in Colorado and my cell rang. A Mexican voice on the other end yelled, “David! David!”. In a moment I knew it was my friend Alberto from Cerrocaui in the heart of Copper Canyon.

With his good wife Francia, he runs a wonderful little cabana along the Copper Canyon train.

We have trips forming that will put you in touch with great folks like this…a rich cultural experience!
