Journey to Sonara

We woke up well rested and ready to tackle the road again. The hotel had complementary breakfast but it wouldn't start until 7:00am so we decided to get some hot "cafecito" at Javier's' favorite stores in Mexico "Oxxo" They are like the 7/11 convenience stores in the states except, according to Javier they carry some tasty tamales
So we departed from "Ciudad Obregon: at 6:00am heading south, no sooner had we left the city when I began to hear snoring from my passenger I glanced to the right and sure in of he was sound asleep, being a nice friend I didn't bother him. The reader should know that this is common trait with my amigo he is the only one we know, me and fishing friends, who can sleep standing up in fishing boat being battered around by the sea.
As we approached the town of Navajoa, "the house of prickly pears" about an hr. later, I woke him up because this town is renowned for it's exquisite regional Sonoran dishes such as "Chile pasado", "nopalitos con huevo", "chilaquiles en salsa chipotle", "cafe de la olla" and others. He told me that the frozen tamales he had at Oxxo were just fine. In my conversations with the local residents I found that Navajoa is also known as the pearl of the Mayo in honor of the Mayo Indians who have inhabited this land for thousands of years. So... we passed up on the culinary flair of Navajoa and continued on to Los Mochis, Sinaloa.
As we continued driving south on Mex15 we noticed that the topography began to slowly change from the harsh terrain of the desert to a more temperate climate and all the characteristic features of prosperous farm lands, rich agriculture and excellent soil with out a doubt we we entering Sinaloa. I woke Javier up again to ask him, "what does Bobby,a fishing buddy, say when he sees land like this?" He responded, "mira lo que se hace con poquita agua" He was really awake now he began looking for his camera and started shooting picture of the the fields covered with more hues of green than I had ever seen. Javier went on to mention that Bobby was wrong this kind of agricultural wealth doesn't come from little water but from modern technology, vast amount of water supplied from the Fuerte river, good weather and hard working people who have a spiritual closeness to this earth. We saw an abundance of beans, vegetables of all kinds, cornstalks easily reaching 10 feet, all varieties of fruits, healthy farm animals and heavy farming equipment. No doubt, he added, all this cornucopia is going to the US.
Javier recently acquired a son in law in the States, He takes the opportunity at this time and place to inform me that his son law's family... just happens to live in the town of San Ignacio, Sinaloa. Knowing Javier for over 30 years I waited, I knew what was coming, "If it's OK with you and... if you don't mind...it would only take couple of hrs..." Maybe, if you would like to see the town, we could stop and say hello. Now What is friend to say? well... let's go whats the address? I don't know we'll have to ask at the town once we get there, How do we get to it? Let's ask those "traileros" truckers, so he asked them "How do we get to San Ignacio?" They told him just keep going down the road a few kilometer and turn right at Torinos exit. We are in the toll road, the only way we could go was straight we drove for about half an hour no Torinos exit, but we did see an auto repair place called Torinos, "let's go back" he said "and ask at the torinos repair shop" We drove a few more kilometer until we could find a "retono" return sign. We turned around and then...
