The images presented were taken in the 1990's. Taken as prints, there is degradation when going from print to digital images. Also, where we were traveling sometimes delayed processing for weeks or months and humidity played havoc with the undeveloped film. Still, I wanted to share our experiences through the pictures we took.
 Common scenery around Isla San Jose near Puerto Escondido. July 1990 July 1990. Isla San Jose is near Puerto Escondido and although we didn't plan on staying there long because the bugs are outrageous, we did end up dropping anchor and settling in. We talked to other cruisers and they said as long as we anchor pretty far out from land, the bugs aren't bad. So we did. The main reason we wanted to at least stop here was to get clams. After checking around, we found out to get to the clams we had to take Clover up a small river to a lagoon. The water in the lagoon is very shallow and very clear. What worked for us was to crouch low so the water lapped on our belly and looked for the clam syphon. When you see that, you dig. We got enough to have clams 3 straight nights. To keep them alive for all three days, we put them in a mesh bag and hung them over the side. Fresh steamed clams and Lori's home-made bread--can't beat that! For two days until we left, we were completely alone in this huge bay. What an experience.  Huge bay on Isla San Jose. Bijou is the small dot on the left. We're alone. So extraordinary. July 1990
