Please, braid my hair
Selling folk-art is only one of the activities that these two Indigenous girls do. —Don’t move little sister or I might hurt you!— I can hear the older one saying to the little girl.

I’ll be right over: that’s just what I need, someone to braid my hair into something controllable!
December 1st, 2006
There is nothing like a Guatemalan woman. Of course I am speaking from the experience.
Oh yea, she braids my hair too.
December 2nd, 2006
This photo enlarged is so fabulous. The embroidered pieces are magnificent.

Pamela: Okay, I will get you someone to braid your hair down here, if you promise to bring all those garrafones of wine.
Sompopo: You should know better. Please, send my greeting to your wife and give your address and I will send you a photo from this site turned into a post card.
Meg: I posted these series at a larger size for you. If you need them bigger I will email them to you.

He he he, dunno how I can smuggle those garafones over with the new liquids on planes restrictions. Travel there by rowing boat, perhaps?
December 6th, 2006
Wonderful colors, great carpets. I really like it.
