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.
