The main reason for my trip to Guatemala in May was to learn about Mayan backstrap weaving techniques. (The trip was organized by
Thread Caravan, and I can't say enough good things about them. If you are interested in learning about the Guatemalan Mayan culture and textiles, I would wholeheartly recommend a Thread Caravan trip. They also offer trips to Oaxaca, Mexico and Panama). We spent two days weaving in San Antonio Palopo with Zenieda and her lovely family.
