The Guaymi

I am on a bit of a roll here with random photos - this was taken 3 days ago when we were given a day off following three weeks intense physical labour, (seriously, i have never known anything quite like it) to bond with the community and learn their local dance. I am in yellow looking like a muppet at the back, trying to keep in rhythm... The traditional Guaymi dance bears a startling resemblance to the congo that we drunkenly do around the table on christmas eve. You can see the bright colours of the traditional dresses of the Guaymi women, and you will be pleased to know that I have been given a rather tasty bubblegum pink version (sadly no photographic evidence) which I hope to wear to the next Oban ball.
