HI - This year will be a important year for the Mexican textile project. Some goals include a minimum of 20 villages per month with a concentration on the State of Mexico and Vera Cruz. Look for more Nahuas of Hidalgo also.

I have also started a vlog or video blog for everyones enjoyment. http://mexico_culture.blip.tv/ check it out. There is one post on it now but I expect to have more when I get back to Mexico.
Pending are the new villages from Chicotepec Vera Cruz and the new villages and collection textiles from the Nahua regions of Hidalgo .

I just returned from a trip to the Huasteca region of Hidalgo and Vera Cruz region of Mexico. This trip was hard on the car since there dosen't seem to be very many paved roads in the region.
After being stopped by bad roads in Zacualpan, V.Cruc I was force over the mountain and ended up in a small hotel on the main road to Huejutla.
The next morning I went to Tiangistengo and then followeded the central mountain range for 52 miles. The trip toook 8 hours. Durnig that trip I decided to raise my car up and inch and put a steel plate underneath. The car is lossing the battle with the back roads of Mexico.
There were two new villages on that day one is actuallay in the district of Tiangistengo and the other is in Vera Cruz, but there are no roads from Vare Cruz. The road ends there with a giant canyon in front of it.

It looks like the next trip will be to the village of Cuanaco Michoacan. With any luck i will be able to document the Once pueblos region of Michoacan after I finish in Cuanaco. It would also be a ggod time to deliver the photos I took in March around the Lake patzcuaro region.
