“spirtually and passionately alive”
Arrived in Chihuahua, Mexico by El Chepe (Chihuahua Pacifico train) from my trip to the Barrancas del Cobre late last night. The train chugs on as desert slowly morphs into a sloping land of strange rock formations – some eerily resemble petrified spirits of eras past. Then, the rises and dips become more drastic and sharp. The land transforms into a vast network of mystic canyons slowly etched away by time…
But before I launch into the mystic of the Copper Canyon, I have photos, audio and video to process, articles to write and emails to catch up on. It will be several days before I can give a personal account of my journey into las barrancas.

Met Victor and Alicia (fellow members of the documentary crew) at Café Kaldi. Toying with the idea of going back to the canyons to get more footage for a short film centered less upon the the Copper Canyon ultra-marathon race and more upon the life, culture and traditions of the Rarámuri through the story of a young 16-year-old girl, eldest child and fatherless.
Possibly going to Parque Cretacico this weekend with Victor to learn about the array of fossilized dinosaurs constantly being discovered there.
Check out the video:

Spoke with Fer today. There’s a possibility we could see each other this weekend if the trip to Parque Cretacico doesn’t work out. It’s been more than a month since we met and spent a few days together in Kansas City. I’d really enjoy the opportunity to see him again.
