Shall we dance?

I'm home from my vacation in Mexico where I took the train to Copper Canyon. Along the way, I saw this:



The Yaqui Indians live mostly in Sonora, Mexico. One of their best-known rituals is the Deer Dance, shown above. The man doing it was friendly, like most Mexican people I met on my trip. From what he said, I could tell that he was proud that he is 64 years old and still dances.

These images were taken with my Canon. I'll post more later from my trip after I have a chance to go through them.

  4. Thanks to all who commented.

    @Wolynski: The train was only two days of the seven. The Yaqui Indians were before the train ride.
