Candelaria
and her friend Conception are from Santa Catarina Palopo Guatemala.
They wear the traditional hand-woven "traje"
(outfit) from their village. |
|
You may have noticed their
hats. Actually the hats are wrapped scarves called "cintas"
. They offered to show how to tie a cinta on Vanessa. |
 |
First you wrap the scarf around
your head and pull your hair back. |
|
Then you start wrapping the scarf
around your hair.
|
 |
It doesn't always turn out
quite like you planned
Sometimes Mom can help out. |
 |
The "cinta"
looks great and its time for some refreshment at the local stand. |
