Copper Canyon - Day 2
... The ride is very smooth and the
views of course are unmatched. We have about 20 minutes on the Butte where the
cable car ends, where more photos are taken. Upon our return we drive to a few
more lookouts and end at the next train stop 'Divisadero', where the 1st hotel
was built in the 1970's. At the station are more vendors (more baskets for
Donna) and food stalls (more food for Dave). I have a delicious ...

Ruim een uur lopen van zijn huis, via de hangbrug de rivier over en dan weer naar boven, naar de weg. ...
Hold on Tight
... as the fight rolls out, all a bit Deadwood.
We meet a Canadian who is essentially prospecting for gold, except these days heīs called a geologist. We also meet the best friend of his ex, who tells us the geologist is all bitter and twisted, and looking for love - now thatīs what I call a small world.
