Women's weaving cooperative by Lorene

Today we visited an amazing, inspirational group of women who 25 years ago defied the male dominated society and pushed to educate themselves to make better lives for their families. As they shared their stories and traditions I and many of the moms cried. We know whatt it is to sacrifice for your children, we appreciated their struggles deeply. We bought beautiful colorful textiles and shared a traditional meal with them. We got to try Chris's 'coconut deliciousness' yummy! And got caught ion quite a storm during our lunch outdoors, but it all added to the adventure. We got to barter in the market, Delaney cut a great deal on a purse! We also attended mass at the cathedral...I understood some of it, but it was still lovely. Can't wait to meet our sponsored daughter tomorrow , they call us 'godparents', we have gifts for her and her family. I'm a little nervous to meet her, I hope we have lots to talk about since she is delaney's age.
