A couple more short trips from Aticama

Postby asirimarco » Tue Feb 16, 2010 8:39 pm

One day we decided to drive up the mountain to visit the coffee plantations - well the road went from highway to this
Image
to this - then we changed our mind and turned around - the plantations are up there somewhere
Image
Another day we again drove up the mountain - this time on a real road - passed these fruit stands - remind me of still life pictures
Image
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
Image
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
Image
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
Image
Another man - they do the bead work and embroidering as well as the women
Image
One of the women
Image
Lots of stuff for sale - beaded stuff - pictures made with thread/yarn, jewelry and dolls
Image
Bought a couple of these - they are made with yarn pressed into bees wax
Image
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.

Thanks for sharing the pictures. Loved the ones of all the fruit. Made me hungry just looking at them. Can't wait to see more.

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