A Women's RV Forum run by Women RVer's!

One day we decided to drive up the mountain to visit the coffee plantations - well the road went from highway to this

to this - then we changed our mind and turned around - the plantations are up there somewhere

Another day we again drove up the mountain - this time on a real road - passed these fruit stands - remind me of still life pictures

The big green things are - according to the web - jack fruit - related to breadfruit. Here they are called Yaka - taste kind of like banana, pinapple, kiwi, strawberry - yep that's right all of them. But it goes bad really fast and then STINKS

We were on our way to the city of Tepic - saw this on a wall while there - about 8 feet tall - no reason for it to be there that we could see. Depicts the HuicholIndians

As I mentioned in the last post we went looking for Huichol art - well we found it in Tepic
One of the men - all clothes are hand embroidered

Another man - they do the bead work and embroidering as well as the women

One of the women

Lots of stuff for sale - beaded stuff - pictures made with thread/yarn, jewelry and dolls

Bought a couple of these - they are made with yarn pressed into bees wax

Their work is incredible. Will add some of their beadwork later.

Beautiful colors. The road changes made me want to switch to horseback and continue Thank you for adventuring and bringing us with you.

I continue to enjoy all the colorful pictures from you,Carol. Love it!

Your trips and pictures are always fascinating.

Fascinating, and I'd continue up the hill on foot.

Hum maybe not a place to hike - we really deceided to turn around when we saw all the men with machetes in the jungle off the road aways . they weren't smiling at us ... lots of pot growing going on in this state.

awesome pictures, I especially like all the fruit!
