    Ay, ay, ay!! Que bonita! I love folk arts and crafts, and I especially lust after textiles. Don’t ask me why, I don’t even sew!

    Enrico: Sorry about the weather in Colorado… it is nice and chilly here. Although I do miss the snow. Remind again the info you asked about.

    Kate: Guatemalan textiles and handicrafts are very vivid and colorful.

    Meg: This is everyday life here.

    Sompopo: I am sure you could open up your handicraft store now.

    Isabella: Talk about eye candy… I can not finish to digest your bougainvillea photo.

    Javier: Thanks for your returning visits. I do hope to make it more painful for you… Come on Javier with the prices you can get in the U.S., you could fly to Guatemala every months. ;-)

    Marie: I am glad your picking up your mom’s tongue very easily. Me da mucho gusto verla de nuevo por aquí y me alegra mucho que ya tenga una maquina nueva. Lastima que no sea una Mac. :-(
