Day 20-TY and the weavers, Cultural Fair, and Movie Night

On Saturday we were planning to go to TY, a town about an hour away known for their weavers who make really amazing tapestries and bags. We got picked up at 8:30am and stopped at four different weaver’s shops and everyone bought souvenirs and gifts for friends and family. Afterwards we drove back and went to the Cultural Fair in downtown Maseru. The fair was being held at Pioneer Mall and they were selling jewelry, Basotho hats, shoes, bags, and pastel artwork. So we did even more shopping! That evening Kadi, Erika, and I went over to the Baylor house with brownie mix to hang out with Meagan and a couple of her Peace Corp friends. We ordered pizza, made brownies, and watched a movie. Meagan and her friends have all been in Lesotho for two years so I think they were missing things like having a girl’s night!
