Sarong = towel?

A sarong is a very lightweight rectangular piece of fabric used for clothing or a beach cover-up.  Somewhere I read of a bicycle tourist using one for a light multi-use towel.  We had some very thin cotton sitting around, so I turned some of it into a sarong. I will take this instead of a bulky towel.  I could also use it as clothing...

I'm  very pleased with how it looks as a skirt...   

It folds up quite small, too.
