After the glory of Monté Alban I had the privilege of sighting Humpback whales for the first time in my life! The state of Oaxaca truly has so much to offer geographically and culturally. I enjoyed at least four varieties of mole, discovered lush desert gardens with immense biodiversity, and witnessed some of the classic artesenias that the region is famous for! 

My initial trajectory was to Iguala via Acapulco but a change in plans brought me back to CDMX. Here I was able to take a few days preparing for an upcoming scouting mission to our community partner villages of: San Miguel Tecuiciapan and San Agustín Oapan. I didn't really know what to expect except that we were welcomed and that I would have WiFi in order to work. Project Executive Producer, Lizette Casas, met me in CDMX early in the morning March 18th to begin our travel towards these fairly distant Náhuatl villages in Guerrero, México.
