Mata Ortiz, a little town in Chihuahua, Mexico; near the ancient ruins of Paquime, is home town of one of the best pottery in the world.
The work done by its artists is of superor quality.

He considers his ceramics like innovator since it combines different techniques like esgrafiado and burnishing in the same piece.

Back from my Trip

Hello World.
I was on vacations with my family. I couldn't refresh this blog 'til today.
I'm going to show a couple of pictures, not from Juarez, but from the state Juarez belongs, Chihuahua. Our state have a good deal of the Sierra Madre, a chain of mountains that go from southern USA down several states into Mexico.
This is the great Cusarare waterfall. Cusarare means Place of Eagles or Where Eagles Fly, in the ancient raramuri language. The raramuris are one of the native groups of the Chihuahuan mountains.
The rainings in the last months have loaded this great waterfall with more water than it was in the past several years. It is now showing a good looking fall.

At the watefall pit, you can sense the breeze in your body. You can rejuvenate in their mists. Years before, you can even wash at the foot of the waterfall... no more. The strenght of the water falling can kill you. But the breeze is there for you... and expect a good wash!
More to come from my trip thru the greatest state of Mexico... Chihuahua.
