Excursion to Pozos
Authored By:
Hello everyone!
First off, we'd like to apologize for the technical difficulties that have kept you from seeing photos on our past blog posts. We believe we've corrected the problem, so if you'd still like to see those photos, you can go back and look at our previous posts.
Today we set off in the early morning to Pozos, a small city roughly and hour and a half from where we're staying in San Miguel de Allende. We spent our time in Pozos with the good people at El Venado Azul (The Blue Deer), where we learned firsthand about pre-hispanic instruments. After a brief paseo, we got to making our very own palos de lluvia (rain sticks) with our teacher Manuel
After putting the maguey spines into the sticks and finishing the sanding process, we divided into two groups. One group went to a music and aromatherapy session, and the other participated in a traditional Mexican temazcal (sweat lodge). Both groups left feeling refreshed and excited about the experiences that they'd had!
