Another interesting place and yes it is the home of that little yappy dog, but they say they came from Spain.
It is Mexi
co's Independence day 15/9 and it is huge over here hence all the flags, but we will be in Costa Rica by then. These dogs line one of the streets, must be a dozen or so. That's their claim to fame. We have noticed an interesting effect of westernization. As we visited towns on the weastern end of the Copper Canyon, where it was still more rural and no western take-aways like KFC, Macs, Subway etc, the people were of moderate build. They still had take-aways but they were local foods, questiriddos, burritos, tacos etc. As we were travelling by bus, people boarded the bus with coolers full of food, but it was burritos and they sold them for about 80 cents and they were filling. On the streets it was very rare to see anyone actually eating while walking
Photo This is one of the many happy dogs on the streets
When we sat and watched the people in Chihauhau we were soon aware of the greater size, most were walking with food in their hands and eating as they walked, KFC chips, soft drinks. Hmm food for thought .. excuse the pun..
A wasted day really we were to catch a plane at 1130 am so had to leave the Hotel Radisson Casa Grande (we were not really roughing it. It was part of the tour package) at 930 am, for all those airport checks. After a 2 hour flight we were in Mexico city, add on an hour for Daylight saving and it was 230 pm and our flight to Costa Rica did not leave until 8pm so we just hung around the airport. Can't wait until they ban smoking at airports. Finally we boarded and off to San Jose we went
