Note on can: "Honeymoon/Jan & Stu/Mexico". Excellent footage: b/w home movies taken in rural villages somewhere in Mexico, early 1930s. Includes people plowing w/oxen, carrying things with baskets on their heads, an outdoor market with an American woman wandering around, a religious procession climbing a very steep hill, and POVs from a boat ride down a river. Fascinating ethnographic-type materials. Lots of people staring fascinatedly into the camera. No other non-Mexicans there. Pretty good shape. Agriculture.
