How Weaving Changes Lives for Guatemala's Women

Описание: Hey everyone! In this episode, we're taking you to the stunning shores of Lake Atitlán for an unforgettable experience in San Pedro La Laguna. We dove headfirst into the rich tradition of Mayan weaving with the most incredible women weavers there. Watching them work and then getting hands-on with those intricate, vibrant textiles – it's mind-blowing how these techniques have been passed down for generations.

Our original mission was to craft a meaningful gift for our friend's daughter's birthday (because what says "feliz cumpleaños" better than something handwoven with love, right?). But we honestly walked away with so much more: amazing stories, new skills, and a HUGE appreciation for this beautiful art form.

💥 And after all that creative energy, we definitely worked up an appetite! We found ourselves at Ke Role, a total gem in San Pedro, where we devoured some of the biggest, juiciest, and spiciest burgers in town. Trust us, it's easily one of San Pedro’s top burger joints, and we can't recommend it enough! 🍔🔥
