Day 7 - checking Out The Locals

 This morning Patrick and I were up by 6:30 am to get breakfast. Then we grabbed the backpack.  Went to the lounge to get moving on our trip.  We did the "The Flavors of Mexico" excursion.  We took a bus 45 mins to Piedra de Moros. They were to see the medicine trees. The garden was not kept like other countries but it was easy to go through.  We went to Santa Marie Huatulco and enjoyed having tortilla making demonstration as well as having so to eat. The garden area had a lot to check out.


We visited an old church.  Amazing church. 

Our last stop was at the local tapestry place. Beautiful works of art. We even bought a table cloth. They showed how a cactus has the bugs that make die. He took one and smashed it in his hand.  It was bright red. Then he added lemon juice and it changed to another color. He then added something else to the color and it went to purple.  


They were demonstrating how they use sheep's wool. The process from the sheep to the looms. Tons of beautiful pieces.

We came back to the ship around 1:30. We were a little behind because the lady in front of Patrick and I fell. She hit her head on the cement. Our guide cleaned her up and we waited for someone from the ship to collect her and take her back to get stitches above her eye. 

Patrick and I  stayed in the cabin till it was time to eat. Our group of 8 ate at the same table as last night. We told them to hold the table for us.  

After supper we went to the show.  It was a tribute to Carol King. It was good.

Came back to our room and I beaded some more. 


I have a few more stitches to do. If I can finish it by tomorrow,  then I will be Happy Stitching/Happy Quilting!
