Mexico (San Blas) photos: 2005
Click on the small picture to see a larger, more detailed version. I
toured Mexico (Puerto Vallarta, San Blas) in January-February, 2005.
The weather was cloudy and/or rainy a lot, so many of the pictures
were of only so-so quality. The trip however was very enjoyable and
was led by Jan Hansen (dba
Otus Asio Tours
otusasiotours@bellsouth.net
). Jan leads a variety of
trips, all of which I would recommend.
