this morning, after a sleep-in and lazabout, i headed off to teotitlan - the village made famous by its fine wool tepetes (rugs) and beautiful church. i had gone there on the micro-finance tour and wanted to go back and buy a couple rugs off of one of the women i had met on the tour. unfortunately, her shop was closed today so i opted for one of the many other places to buy rugs there...there are probably a hundred different places - both small outdoor stalls and actual stores - to choose from. i chose to buy from some women at a stall as they're the actual weavers and not someone who is acting as a middleman for the weaver. power to the weavers!
it was a hot ride out there in a very crowded colectivo cab - me, and two women with a child each in the back seat and two more women in the front seat with the driver. yes, eight of us...super safe. and on the way back i opted for a very crowded, hot and stuffy bus...it was great. seriously. but once we got close to where i had to go i jumped off and walked the rest of the way home...
i have no food here and was having some problems on the way home getting food - more on that is 'garn's rules to mexican living' coming up very soon.so now, here i am, at home, eating some yogurt and finishing my last indio beer...that's lunch today....
nice.
have a great tuesday.
