Misminay continued

continued fromprevious blog.  After all the hard work which we took part we went back to the house for lunch. The room was spotlessly clean with a nice table with cloth and benches.The meal consisted of a plate of lima beans and corn as an appetiser, then barley soup, followed by a stuffed tomato with quinoa and meat and after that a plate of potatoes and meat. Dessert was a red jelly. The only thing that wasn't strictly traditional. Everything was delicious but very filling. The afternoon session was textiles and how they dye the wool,spin and weave using a back strap loom. The colours are all gained from natural products and died in apot over a small fire outside.  Bob participated a bit and gave every one a good laugh when she couldn't do the spinning. At the end they did bring out items to sell and as we'd had such agreat day we were happy to purchase a few things. Their warmth and hospitality were amazing and it was hard to say goodbye.  They were very interested in some photos we had of Lucas and a couple of the other grandies but unfortunately I left our big family photo back at the hotel.  A fantastic day and one of the highlights of our trip.
