Gabrielle´s birthday surprise

Well it was like this. It was the night of Gabrielle´s birthday .(no chocolates, no flowers)...........
The reception had informacion for us. The train through the copper canyon would not be departing as there had been a avalanche that had hit a goods train on the track. Here we were stuck in the most uninteresting place you can imagine, we struggled through one day and we were now going to fill another day. No one knew when the train was to travel again as they had to do a "Work Safe" investigation as someone died in the accident. There had been a 2 year drought and the skies opened up and all the rain caused the avalanche.
We slept poorly wondering what, when and how we were going to continue on. after a few frantic phone calls to plan the next day we decided to try to make the best of a boring place.
After walking across town in the heat and humidity 36C we travelled by local bus to the coast, well we thought the beach was called Topolobampo and as we alighted from the bus we realised "No beach here", luckily the lady behind the driver saw our predicament and we travelled further to the beach, playa el Maviri. The English speaking Mexican lady was Maricaz, she was travelling alone and was very interesting and helpful to us as she kept us informed
Not a great beach but great food. It ended up being a great day.
We went back to Los Mochis to be greeted by the news that we would be moving on to somewhere by bus or train the next day.
Oh Well that´s Mexico
