When asked where we wanted to go by our guide Sebastian all we said was food and culture. He immediately said I know just the the places. First was el Mercado in Ocotlan de Merida, where we had a great meal of QuesiBirrias and Tlayudas. Next was to "Manos que Ven" where a blind artesan makes the most unique clay figures with his family of three generations and his "Muse"wife. She actually sat down and talked to us, one on one, while creating a piece.
Then off to a family of artists where we also met the three generations of weavers. Including one who is NOT allowed to compete any more, WHY? Because she has one ALL the competions in weaving. We met them and had a private tutoring session also. Truly unique experience all thought of on the spot. Great once in a lifetime and VERY affordable prices for one of a kind
original works of craftsmanship.
Thanks Sebastian
