Tepic

Unfortunately, I´m having some trouble getting pictures up, but it´s time for an update anyway. The last three days in Tepic have been great! So far we´ve visited a hospital, an organic avocado farm, an organic fertilizer factory, the state university, and a factory that makes fruit concentrate! Whew! We´re tired out, but it´s been a great experience. Today is Mothers Day in Mexico, so things are pretty quiet, and we finally have some free time to relax, update our journals, and our blog.

Tepic is a nice town, surrounded by sugar cane fields and mango groves. It´s not quite as hot as Culiacan, but it´s still sunny and in the high 80s and low 90s every day. Tomorrow we head inland to Guadalajara, which is a good thing, because Lupe may lose it if she has to eat another shrimp!

Finally able to get pics on the blog. Here are some from Tepic...







Here is a pic of the Cathedral in the town center...amazing architecture!
















This is a pic of us standing with some Huetzel Indians while out and about.











Here is a pic of a mural on a building at Universidad Autonoma el Nayarit. Each discipline has a mural on its building.










This is a picture of the Rotary wives enjoying the music (and the tequila) at a club meeting the night before La Dia de Las Madres.
