Dade, D. 1981 Journal Mexico Nov. 3 morning, We also brought ice just east of the last big intersection on the east side of Cardoba. We then took Hwy. 150 D toward the west and then old Hwy. 150 toward the west. We went thru Cd. Mendoza and Aculzingo. Just beyond Aculzingo the road becomes very winding. On hairpin turns, the traffic takes the opposite side of the road (i.e. on right-hand hairpin going up - left-hand going down). This seems to be necessary by all who drive their road. Certain is necessary! The locality was reached by turning toward the south into a dirt road in Puerto del Aire (3.1 km. S [by dirt road] of Puerto del Aire, Venecia, Mexico) just before the Puebla state line. There are many bromeliads here. They were very wet and served good for salamanders. The area had mostly oaks with some pines. A beautiful area in general. I saw found two Chloroplectrion - one large, one small in bromeliads. One of these bromeliad grows on a trunk, the other on a smaller limb. A Pseudobryceea and three Tilliins also occurs here. We decided to return tomorrow to work more bromeliads. We returned to Orizaba and checked into the Hotel D'Oliva on the west end
