Mountaintop Weaving


As our steep trek continued, Gwen caught a glimpse of this couple set-up on the edge of a mountain, weaving and selling baskets. We ventured closer and Walnes inquired if we could take a photo. Their answer was a head shake - "no." However when we offered a Ritter chocolate bar, the answer became "yes." The baskets were very strong and yet very lightweight. We wished we could have returned home with one of these sturdy "made in Haiti" originals.
