Second stop is getting outside of the city. The…read moreprecursor to our main objective. But first, you must see what we have in store to show all of you tourists. Mainly all of the different rocks gathered from nearby lava rocks. When I say nearby, it's really more than 150km away. Just the different color variations is amazing. Carving from giant pieces to create works of art is not priceless. It's a collection you could bring home as a souvenir depending on the size.
The first thing we saw is this plant that the core is hollowed out to see this liquid called something like, ma-gey (spelling?). I'm sure in some process, it becomes fermented to our samples of tequila. What tour in Mexico that doesn't include tequila tasting. We get to sample the ma-gey which is a bit sour like citrus fruit then not so much. Also not something you would order at a bar.
We are shown different pieces with amazing natural color. Gold, orange, mixed in with the black color. One of the pieces you can see through if you were to look at an eclipse of the sun. Why didn't we know about this much earlier. After walking around the gift shop, waiting on everyone else in our group. There is a guy who showed up and started up the loom. As if he is continuing the light blue woven fabric. Interesting how he incorporates the color for the design. Then it was time to load up the van.
