Florinda and her husband.

I have been working quite a bit... after tomorrow I'll have about 30 dresses made. I am going to wait until I return from Jamaica to buy more fabric. I am planning on taking a trip to Lake Atitlan to buy jaspe fabric in Santiago. I'll be staying with Florinda's family, one of the women that I purchase fabric from.

Ten minutes after Pat left, one of the women that I sew with
called and another just showed up, “when can we get back to work!” I
thought I would be kind of lost after Pat left, because we really stayed close,
did so much and had a great time together. But, like Pat, the textile ladies keep me quite
busy!
Pat and I went to San Juan
to cut geodes and Tikal to see
ancient ruins in the Jungle. Worked with
textiles and had fun dinners with interesting women.
Saw snow on Fuego! Alright, I didn’t actually see it! Had a massage with very vigorous Guate women along with many yoga classes. We climbed the mountain side to hang
out at Earth lodge and went to an amazing concert in front of a Cathedral, VOCA…it
is a must! And of course…lot of markets!
Pat brought back somewhere around 60 lbs of textiles for me
and treated me to many wonderful places, meals and events. Thank you Pat for your generosity and sincere
friendship.
