I went for an adventure yesterday after having lunch with some friends from school. I drove out to where I had heard about some "factories", I would call them workshops. Here I got to see a weaver working outside a clothing store. Outside the shop there were about 8 looms set up to make the garments which were for sale inside. They even had pictures of the King and his family wearing their garments!
I also discovered an umbrella workshop. This was one of my favorites.
There was so many different designs!
Here you see one of the many stages an umbrella goes through before completion. I couldn't believe how much work goes into making one umbrella.
Outside the shop.
I also visited the silver factory, but didn't take any pictures...next time. I plan to head back to this area soon, there was also a silk factory that I didn't get to check out!
My friend Yara, who teaches Kindergarten at CMIS, helped me strap my guitar on the back of Perry this week. This is a great discovery for me! I needed to take my guitar to the repair shop.
On Thanksgiving Day I noticed that poinsettia plants have shown up at the flower shops! This made me so happy because my parents always have poinsettia plants around the house during this time of year. These plants remind me of home...I bought one (it was about $1!!!) and planted it in our flower box in front of our house.
Those umbrellas are entrancing! Thanks for sharing the possibilities with those of us entrenched in a culture of mundane precipitation protection devices.
