After a lovely breakfast (they make the best sweet breads!) we departed on Mexican time (30 minutes late). The drive back was dreaded due to the bumpy, curvy, narrow road. We were also unsure if our van would make it back without stalling out. Our van never quit, and we made fewer stops along the road so we got back faster and earlier than expected. The views coming up out of the canyon were more awe inspiring, seeing the canyon walls towering over us. We also experienced the narrowness of the canyons. We had expected something similar to the Grand Canyon, but these are narrow, covered with trees and shrubs and paths. They are somewhat smoother, less dramatic walls than the Grand Canyon but they are much deeper and there are more of them concentrated in this area.
There was no sleeping or reading in the van as it was just too bumpy and curvy. John and I took a fast walk into town, visited with new friends and had a great grilled pork chop dinner.
