Road trip to San Sebastian

Wayne and I decided to take a road trip with our friends, Jim and Kent from Sea Level, up to the mountain town of San Sebastian. San Sebastian is about 1 1/2 hours out of Puerto Vallarta and is 5250 foot elevation. It was a silver and gold mining town built in the 1600's. Nice and cool .
We rented a jeep...never again...and took off...past the statue outside the local gym.. past the local prison...

past the constant falling landside...

over this modern bridge and into the town of San Sebastian.

Luckily for us the landslides did not create a road block and it was sunny without rain in sight.
The valleys and hillsides were full of agave, corn, strawberries, cattle grazing, small villages, and lush green trees. San Sebastian has a coffee plantation and grows the coffee on the hillsides under a pine tree canopy. We tasted the end result and found it very good...we even bought some to take home.
