The scarf

For Ecuadorian women the scarf is a very important part of the wardrobe...they tie it around their neck or wear it around their waist as a belt...but more often...


They use it to carry their wares to market (yes, that is also a dead rooster she is carrying).


... as a hat


... to carry babies.


How adorable!

Tomorrow we are heading north to Banos (8 hrs on a bus). Not sure if we will have access to internet so it may be awhile til the next post. We are planning on staying 4-5 nights.

Love your pictures, you really capture what it is like in Ecuador. The women do use their scarfs for just about everything but mostly carrying things, including their children. Enjoy your trip to Banos, can't wait to see your pictures from there.
