In the wet season, when the figs are ripe, the Tarahumares have a habit of singing under the trees while gathering the fruit.
I noticed some beautiful mezquites in the bed of a creek, the bottom of which was clayish.

Although the season for it was late, Indians were gathering the fruit.

The proper season is before the rain sets in.

The Indians throw the seeds away, but boil the fruit, grinding it between stones and mixing it with water.

This drink is also used through Sonora and Chihuahua by the Mexicans.
On my return I again spent some time in Guajochic.
