We took off with Gary and Tracy to LaBorjitas to see some really cool cave paintings. Two hours later we got to the final gate...the others just had rope ties to open...and there we found a padlock. There wasn't a soul around. The little cluster of houses preceding the gate were all empty. Only a pitbull puppy peeking at us from an enclosure. Then Mike remembered this weekend is a holiday in honor of Juanito Juarez. We stopped anyway under a tree and had a picnic with the carnitas we had picked up in town, and a couple of icy cervezas. Along the way we took photos of several plants. One is called desert lavender, but is actually salvia. It smells like lavender, but isn't. This ends a $100 bet with Christian down the road, who insisted he was right. Never argue with a lavender farmer! We also took a photo of what looked like a yellow apple. We have seen these scattered here and there. Tracy said they are actually small round gourds, about apple-sized.
