Travelog post for: Lumpy

Today we are in Turkey!!!  We visted a carpet co-op.  There are many nomadic tribes in Turkey.  This co-op teaches women the fine art of rug making.  They taught and given supply to make the rugs.  They sell there work to the co-op and the co-op helps them to open bank accounts so their village fathers don't steal their money.  They want to teach women that they have other options for taking care of themselves so they don't have to feel ruled by their fathers.  Very cool.
