Thursday –
We had an early visit to Santa Barbara de Pinto, where we watched local experts
prepare small cigars and weave huge fishing nets.
These skills are passed generation to generation and some of the guests tried rolling tobacco
and casting fishing nets. They did far better at the first than the second.
Our visit ended with a lively dance that illustrated all the steps in the creation of corn food, from the planting through the serving. We each received a helping but most of us passed them along to the local children. Our welcome and farewell were very enthusiastic, as the people of this area are experiencing new prosperity with the rise of tourism.
