On a long-ago trip to Peru, our tour group made a brief excursion to the San Blas Islands, just off the mainland of South America.
Amazing to me, people on the island still lived in reed huts with thatched roofs, looking like something from Robinson Crusoe or some National Geographic story. There were palm trees and sandy beaches and everything was quite lovely.
I took numerous photos, including one of a young woman sitting outside one of the huts. She had raven black hair and wore a red headdress, white blouse and colorfully-patterned skirt. These people excelled at imprinting cloth with exotic designs and sold their work to tourists.
