AUKA! Kumiai Adventure
Sat, Feb 4, 2006
Visit San Antonio Necua, one of Baja California?s most vibrant Kumiai Indian villages, located in the heart of Mexico?s wine country. Meet local
artists and take home some of their unique wares; even learn how to weave a basket if you like! Or take an easy hike with a local Kumiai guide through
Oak Canyon to the ancient archaeological site of El Palomar, learning about traditional Kumiai uses of native plants along the way. Listen to ancient
songs, hear local legends and if you wish, partake of a purifying sage blessing. Or just relax and enjoy the scenery. This interactive excursion
includes a traditional Kumiai meal.

I see you are on Bicycle Bob's mailing list also!
Are you going? I am thinking maybe...

I don't think so - I'll try to work it in on another trip. Too much driving and border wait for just a day trip (unless someone else drove). I'd
spend the night someplace, but Feb. 5 is Superbowl.
