Chihuahua sight seeing day

We caught our sight seeing bus tour today at 8:30 a.m. We did a city tour of Chihuahua by our tour guide Eduardo, he was very informative and spoke good English. A couple of the things he told us was Chihuahua City has one of the lowest crime rates, unemployment is at 3.5% and their main industry is Gold. He also told us that Mexico City has one of the largest population, 23 million, boy that's a lot of people. Just some facts which I'm sure don't interest you but oh well. Like I said we had the city tour, which the city is very clean, we also visited Pancho Villa's home, the Government palace, a Cathedral and an Exotic Pottery and Basket place. We then had a buffet lunch then back to the RV park by 3pm. At 3:30 was the next days driving meeting and we will all be splitting up in 5 groups, leaving 15 minutes apart. This way so many coaches aren't grouped together, which we really weren't group up before that how most of us thought we were lost, but whatever. We have 4 in our group and we leave at 8:45am, we only drive a little over 150 miles so it should be a short day driving. At 6pm we caught the tour bus again and went out to dinner and before dinner the local college put on a Mexican Folk Dance showing us some of the local custom dances, that was a good show, the students were really good. That's it for now, will write when we get to Creel tomorrow.
