Visiting Carhuayoc
The community of Carhuayoc, twenty minutes from San Marcos.
Everyone's just loving this community and its scenery!
The lands of Carhuayoc seem to be very fertile: full of maize, potatoes and a lot of trees.
Las tierras de la comunidad de Carhuayoc parecen de estar muy fertiles; todo est� cubierto por ma�s, papas y una variedad de �rboles.
A los gringos les est� encantando la comunidad y su paisaje.
The professor.... (above)  ;-)         Studying the local poultry
The local weaver, who has wun a lot of prizes in several national competitions. He is 75 years old but still very alive and happy.
We are visiting the house of the weaver to see his work...
La profesora del grupo (la de arriba)   ;-)
El artesano local, un se�or de 75 a�os que ya gan� varios precios de competiciones al nivel nacional con sus tejidos.
Estamos visitando la casa y el taller del se�or, y nos est� mostrando sus tejidos.
This woman was the best ever: she explained everything about her community very lively, and took care that her fellow villagers could show all their weavings to the visitors.
These three ladies were very interested in the visitors and followed every step we made. But they also loved to see how they "got into the digital camera"..
What a cute baby!!!!!!!

En Carhuayoc tambi�n hemos visto m�s tejidos de otras personas, pues �toda la gente en esta comunidad es tejedor! Entonces en la misma plaza la gente nos mostr� sus tejidos. Muchos comuneros vinieron a chequear esta presencia de gringos en la plaza, entonces estabamos rondeados por amigos campesinos.
La campesina con sus ropas de color de rosa es parte de la comunidad, y ella nos hizo que el tour fue tan interesante, con su alegr�a y buena atenci�n a los visitantes.
And then, back to our hotel "La Rinconada" in San Marcos.
To eat all together in the restaurant..........
Y despu�s de este d�a lleno de nuevas impresiones y experiencias nos hemos vuelto al hotel "La Rinconada" en San Marcos. Para comer la cena todos juntos en el restaurante, y despu�s a dormir. O... a tomar unas cuantas chelas en la Plaza.. o cualquier cosa.
