This resort is so wonderful. They asked us when we came here what our interests were and I said fibers! So last night they brought in two village ladies with thier equipment and an interpretor. We had a great time. Just like being at a spin in at Gryphon's.
The aunties work in the fields during the day with the children and men. At night they go over to the coop where the community has purchased loomes, skein winders, bobbbin makers, and spinning wheels. The ladies also knit, crocnet and sew. They make items for an exporter and also for the toursits that pass through the village. I took more video that photos .
I shared some of my handspun wool with them and they shared some of thier woven items with me. Mrs. Pong said she wanted to learn English so that she could talk to me all night that was a compliment.

It sounds like you are having a great time with the exception of having to wait once in awhile. Enjoy the rest of your trip...we are getting snow and ice here!
