Day 6

Today I had a very early and exhausting day. At 6 a.m. this morning a group of us got up to climb the mountain of Picacho. None of us expected it to be an strenuous hike, but it was very difficult. Because of the altitude change breathing was much more difficult and almost everyone got a headache. Although it was not the leisurely hike we expected, the view from the top of the mountain was breathtaking. During the day we went to see the Dance of the Feathers. The dance is a reenactment of the Spanish taking over the indigenous villages. The dancers start at noon and don't stop until 10 p.m.! It was amazing to watch and photograph.
