Weavers

Watching a lady tie strings on threads. She ties them in a pattern that shows up once it has been dyed. She is incredibly fast with her fingers. Salvador is displaying his technique on one of his looms.
The results of their weaving. It takes about 3 days of work just to make one of these skirts. The local ladies dressed us up. Beautiful.

Wow! What a group of fashion divas you are! Could Cathy get an extra outfit? I understand some luggage went missing.
