Posada Barrancas, Copper Canyon, Mexico, 11/21/16

 Very late-in-the-day walk along the canyon.

Partial stone house and cliff dwelling.  When the door is closed the house is inhabited, we were told by our guide.  When the door is open anyone can move in. 

 Technology making life easier yet allowing the Tarahumara to continue living according to tradition.

Occupants of this cliff dwelling did not appear to be moving down into the canyon for the winter :) Notice the blackened cliff from cooking fires.
A  young man was sitting on a rock nearby and asked me in Spanish where I was from.  "Belgica," I said.  He appeared very interested and said he wanted to learn English so he could get a job in tourism.
