3/31/04: Brightly-clad Tarahumara women, selling small, neatly woven baskets and carved wooden figurines. Their dress formed a kaleidoscope of color, from flowery, multicolored head scarves to bright blouses and voluminous patterned skirts wound round with aprons and topped with shawls. The women hovered between the cars sitting on the secondary rail lines, peering out at the train as it arrived into the station then, as the breaks squealed the train to a stop, they glided out, looking up and down the length of the train windows for prospective customers. Some obligingly posed for photos when asked, others turned away or hid their faces as best they could.
