Well, I'm back from Mexico (again). I went to go do another site visit at Minera Penasquito (little rock mine). This time we staying in a different town than normal, name of the town is Mazapil (founded in 1562). The town is small, and very run down. Our hotel was on the outskirts and had a fantastic new green paint. Not much to do in town except visit the church (built in the early 1700s).

Here is the church (nicest building in town):


Here is the inside of the church:


Here is the hotel we stayed at (barking wild dogs and howling coyotes all night long at no extra cost):


Here is a video showing one of the mine trucks dumping into the primary crusher:


One of the mine trucks getting worked on in the truck shop:


Truck had a 14' diameter flat tire:


These trucks are huge:


And so are these guns!


Glad to be back where I can drink the water.
