Our final stop this weekend was to the town of Adanwomase to watch the production of Kente Cloth, which is a traditional, colorful, woven cloth.  With the help of the Peace Corp and other volunteers this town has been set up for community based tourism to watch the production of the Kente Cloth.  We were taken on a tour all through the village to different shops and homes to see where the thread is sold, wound on to spools, wrapped, and then to a central weaving area.  Here traditional weaving looms are used and we were able to watch this beautiful cloth come to life.  I was even able to try the loom myself!  The loom is operated by pedals hanging down on a string.  You put the string between your toes and use your feet to move the cloth up and down to make different patterns.  There were children learning how to weave and they were much better than myself!  All I made was a plain black cloth, no fancy patterns.  The cloth is truly beautiful and it is amazing that is all made on the traditional weaving looms. – Leah
