These are photos of my visit with Lucy to her home and to the beach at Chacagua. Both are Afro-Mexican communities. We went through Azufre but I did not get a chance to get photos there.

Hopefully, I will get an opportunity to return to the coast in October for the reunion of "Los Negros" which will be a meeting of the Afro-Mexican communities along the coast of the states of Oaxaca and Guerrero. With their permission I should get lots of pictures then.
