Oaxacan Photo Smattering

I little while back, I found out that film development is quite cheap here in Mexico and went to find out how my cheap camera did at recording the trip. The results were decidedly mixed, but here are a few of my favorites.

During a jungle hike in Pluma Hidalgo, I stumbled upon this Cafetal (coffee processing plant). It was pretty sweet. And abandoned. The misty jungle made it seem like a Jurrasic Park compound, which made it all that much better to explore. This is where they wash the coffee beans. Like a huge coffee bathtub. Below was a massive concrete pad to dry the beansafter they're washed. I ate lunch on those steps and was attacked by to dogs. They were fierce until I shared my tuna with them, then they were my friends.

This is the path that I was walking on. On either side there are coffee plants. There didn't appear to be much order to the whole operation and I decided it must be quite a task making sure they've harvested all their beans. 

This is the camp I made when I arrived in San Agustin. 

This is the bay itself, the view from San Augstin's shrine.

I think I might have said it before, but the waves on the Pacific coast don't mess.

I upgraded my accomodations a bit further down, to the executive suite. Mostly because of the incredible, impermeable roof. Note the Mexican Flag flying proudly from the right-most beam. I figured I was less likely to be robbed if I had a Mexican Flag.

"Bandito Yankee" a tribute to one of the great movies of all time and, more generally, the late Paul Newman. 

Just thought I'd proffer I few glimpses of the trip, now that I have them. Enjoy.
