The Moving Rock

This is Sofi's natural "I'm excited that I got to be on top of the rock by myself" smile.  A fun photographer's fact: instead of "cheese" (obviously, since "queso" would make you make a duck face), they say "WHISKEY!"  For some reason, that tickled me.

 
Sofi and her cousins, the daughters of Papi's brother.



 
We went to see the "Moving Rock" the other day.  It supposedly weighs around 20 tons but can be rocked back and forth with a finger, however the machines that were brought in to move it were not able to move it from it's site even a centimeter. 
 

 
The legend is that a couple was turned to stone during an "act" of being unfaithful to their spouses.   There are tons of myths and legends, especially when they have been passed down for many years since the indigenous people.  I have learned that just about everything has a "story."  I also have learned that you don't have to believe in order to imagine!
