Wednesday, February 23, 2011 — Another great tour to villages with Ericlages with

This is just a teaser intro to keep my dates in mind because my battery is almost out. Wednesday we met Eric at 9:00 again outside of our hotel. We drove to a town about an hour away to visit the workshop of a backstrap weaver and her family. Abigail and her mother greeted us warmly and "Mama" kneeled on the stone floor with just two layers of cloth for ease. She donned a sturdy leather back strap and began demonstrating the weaving of a fine, narrow band using a rigid heddle as her basic shed making device. More when we're recharged.
