This morning we went by bus to downtown Chihuahua City and the home of Poncho Villa, the state capital building and the home of the Governor. We were impressed with how clean the city was and all the little parks located throughout the city. We went in a couple of shops but did little shopping. Most of the homes here have stone or concrete walls around them but behind the walls and in the middle of their homes they have beautiful courtyards, some with fruit trees.
Chihuahua means sandy and dry. And yes, the little dogs of the same name are named after the city. In fact, they have a parade and dress the dogs up. They also have many little statues that are decorated around the main square in town.
After traveling about 65 miles we are camped in a RV Park in a Mennonite community. They had dinner for us and entertainment and the park owner gave us a brief history of his people and community. Now we are all busy getting our rigs ready to be loaded onto the trains in the morning. We are also expecting freezing weather tonight so we are preparing for that too.
