we also visited a group of wood carvers.
the most entertaining part was that a funeral was going on where they normally work, so when our busload of white people pulled in, we walked into the middle of the funeral, each took a log, and got back on our bus and drove somewhere else.
i think we REALLY confused that village.
anyway, the carvers take logs and turn them into beautiful woodworks: masks, fertility dolls, statues of women, and catapults.
haha. peace corps fail. :) but seriously, this looks like such a fun week!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful carving. Be careful of machetes!
ReplyDeletei laughed at your description - a group of white people getting off a bus just long enough to grab a log and then get back on -- while a funeral is going on.
