festival

Today in ollanta, there is a weaving and spinning and doll making competition, pictures will follow, but watching reminded me of my weaving class I took in guatemala. Heres what i say, there are a lot of boring and repetitive and in many cases, non productive things I could force myself to do for the rest of my life. move dirt, check bottle caps, i dont know, but back strap weaving is not one of them and if someone told me i had to backstrap loom weave forever I would take the loom and use the various pieces to impale myself. That being said, it´s so much fun to watch this women and i have the utmost respect and admiration for their incredible skills.
