Day three consisted of a boat ride on Lake Atitlan to the pueblo of San Juan la Laguna where you can find several women's co-ops producing beautiful textiles hand made with natural dyes. Francesca shows us how the dyes are made and then the process of producing backstrap woven scarves, table runners and more.
We visited many shops and everyone found treasures they thoroughly enjoyed.
In the evening we were entertained by Miguel who is the owner of Pinguinos restaurant telling the history of his people and everyone tried their hand at making tortillas. We had quite a few expert tortilla makers.
Dave was the winner and I guess it must run in the family since the last time his sister Beth was here she won.
