It was a bitter disappointment, because our previous experience at San Miguel had been so pleasant and interesting.
When we left Coatlan that morning, it had been through clouds and drizzling rain.

When we passed through San Miguel, conditions were but little better.

From there, we went through a gorge road, everywhere passing little plantations of coffee, bananas, and tobacco.

Finally, we began our last mountain or forest climb.

The wind with the rain became colder and more penetrating.
