San Carlos & Alamos Trips - 2008 |
|
|
|
We went down to San Carlos, Sonora, Mexico and stayed a week at a time share condo in January. From San Carlos we drove further south to Alamos and spent three nights there during the international music festival. |

After arriving in San Carlos and meeting up with some friends, we went to a beach bonfire party one evening. Tetakawi Hill, the symbol of San Carlos, was backlit by the setting sun. |
|
We met up with a group of folks who come down each year from Canada and spend the winter in San Carlos. |

We walked the beach near our condo several times. Tetakawi is in the background, and dominates the view from many places around San Carlos. |

|
We took a drive on a somewhat primitive road that heads back in the tullies from San Carlos. When we got as far as we dared go with the passenger car, we had a little picnic lunch. |

One night we went to the opera house for a concert. Before the show a group of dancers on stilts danced around on the cobblestone street in front of the old Cathedral to the rythmn of drummers. |
|
|
|
|
We left San Carlos and drove several hours further south to the Colonial town Alamos. We went there to see the international music festival. This is a group from Oaxaca that was performing at one of the venues in town. |

We went to see a concert at the old opera house. This evening was four women playing baroque music on harpsichord and baroque guitars. |

|
Alamos dates back to the 1680's, when it was a rich silver mining center. The cobble stone streets, arched porticos and white washed buildings make you feel like you have stepped back in time. |
