Today was our first day of traveling back home, and we got to sleep in a little before checking out of our hotel. While my dad went to quickly stop by the orphanage to pick up a few things, the rest of us explored the town and it’s many shops. While we were shopping, we befriended a stray dog that seemed to really like us. He followed us to each store and waited outside while we shopped. We lovingly named him Charlie.

Once our group reunited, we decided to quickly stop at a museum dedicated to the art and history of the Tarahumara people. Unfortunately, every single one of us forgot to take pictures so we don’t have much to share about that, but it was very interesting and educational. After our learning journey we were greeted by Charlie waiting for us at the front door.

Before leaving the town of Creel, we made sure to finally take one group pic in-front of the town’s sign. Don’t worry, Charlie made sure that he was in the picture too.

We then started our drive to Cuauhtémoc where we would stay the night. Our car rides are long, but are always filled with fun conversations and debates. It is never a dull time traveling with the group. Soon enough though we drove out of the mountains and through many little towns before making it to Cuauhtémoc. Angelo heard about a place that sells very good micheladas, so we stopped to check it out. The bar had many options to customize their drinks, and Jeff and Angelo each made theirs perfect.

Soon enough we were back on the road, and decided to stop for some dinner once we got into the city. A steak house/taqueria became the group choice, and it ended up being very delicious.

After dinner it was back to the hotel room from some card games, showers and bed.

It was a day full of driving, but it’s nothing compared to our long stretch tomorrow. I’ll make sure to update on any other fun adventures we have, but till then that’s all for today! I’ll leave you all with another picture of Charlie who my dad would not let us keep. Goodnight!
