A follow on from my previous post! A local shop was also part of the day trip we went on whilst in Mexico which sold all of the crafts that the Mayans made in the villages. It was really clean and really nice to see all of the other things that were being made. Each person or household could have their own section in the shop and there were sometimes photographs of the people who had made that particular piece or pieces, so you sometimes recognized some of the people who you'd seen previously in the village. Dad got a bit bored but for Mum, Sarah and me well, we just couldn't decide which bits we wanted to buy as there were so many lovely pieces! Here are a few of the delights we feasted our eyes on! Oh, also outside there were what looked like two weaving machines. One was hidden away and all wrapped up but had a piece being worked on whilst the other was just out in the open. It was a shame no one was around to show us how they worked, the colours did look just lovely in the Mexican sunshine.
