Every morning just past seven little Miguel climbs onto his donkey and roams the cobblestone streets in hopes to make some money for food.
Miguel, a skinny boy, barely twelve has lived in Copala Mexico his entire life.
Although he speaks broken English, he will converse with tourists and visitors to the best of his ability in hopes to make some pesos to bring home to his family.
I met little Miguel on one of many trips to Mexico when he offered me a ride on his mule. I declined, but offered him some money nonetheless. We chatted for a while and he told me a little bit about the village, which he calls home.
Hidden high in the Sierra Madre, and off the beaten path of lovely Mazatlan is the beautiful town of Copala, population 600. This small village was once a gold mining area and is now where some of the most beautiful hand crafted Mexican pottery and furniture come from, to be sold in the US.
Copala was one of the most interesting places I've been to in Mexico. Its quaint cobblestone streets are wide enough for a VW Beatle and a mule to pass each other. The streets are lined with benches where daily visitors and residence alike can sit and relax throughout the day.
The homes in this area are made of rocks and mud, with the roofs made of grass thatch and rough pine shingles.
My family and I were invited into one of the beautiful residence and witnessed first hand the beauty of Mexican decoration. The walls, which were covered with throws, made of yarn and wool was weaved with brilliant colors of reds, blues, greens and purples. On the tables there were brightly colored, hand crafted pottery, shellacked and coated for protection.
Although poor, the people of Copala couldn't have been more benevolent as they offered us Mexican cuisine and free tours of their homes.
Copala is easily described as a place that really makes you feel like you've stepped back in time. With the cobblestone streets and the welcoming residence I can honestly say this village was simply charming and would recommend anyone to pay a visit.

When I see tourists (americans) here who adress me in their language as if I was supposed to speak english, I don't even listen to them, even if I understand perfectly and could answer their question. Those are usually the same people who will laugh at your accent anyway.
Then when I leave they're probably like "OhMyGod, OhMyGod, people here are SO rude!" When it really is them who have absolutly no respect.

"Although he speaks broken English, he will converse with tourists and visitors to the best of his ability in hopes to make some pesos to bring home to his family. "
I just noticed that. Maybe if asshole tourists such as you learned basics of the natives' language instead of imposing your fucking english on everyone, he wouldn't have to speak "broken english" in the first place.
Seriously, english speaking people are the most retarded travellers on Earth.

When we went, we stayed at a resort outside Playa Del Carmen. It was so beautiful I wanted to move there. If I sold my house, my truck, and Tiff's car today, we could probably live like royalty down there for the rest of our lives.
I just have to figure out how I'm going to get cable internet hooked up for 3 pesos a month in my mud hut.

My cousin passed through that area one time and got accosted by a kid on a donkey. Apparantly, they have donkey gangs, rather than motorcycle gangs. Fun fact. Also, my uncle owns a couple of bed and breakfasts down there, called Felipe Flores or something like that. One time a rebel army took over their property for the night, but tipped them very well. Also, they requested chocolates for their pillows.

my experiences in mexico with mexican kids was practically being molested every few blocks by a gang of them screaming "chicalay fifty cent, chicalay, chicalay, chicalay fifty cent"
apparently chicklets are made in mexico and the kids get boxes of them for free or something. at any rate, they would not stop crawling up your ass until you flung change on the pavement.
