Journey to the Summit This journal records progress to my first goal, a long time desire to learn, converse & dream in Spanish and a 2nd goal continue training in Guatemala for my future summit of Mt. Rainier, Washington.

One of our class trips was to Trama Textiles. You can find out more at <http://tramatextiles.org/our-story/>

Because I like to knit I decided to try my hand at using a telar de cinturón or belt loom. The simplist project was a scarf or "bufonda" expected to take about 10 hrs. In this video narrated by Theora I am working away on my project. I came to have a great appreciation for the work these women in making fine fabric items that are sold in the Trama store and online.
