We visited the Wood carving Capital of the Philippines, Paete, on March 28, and saw the workshops of the carvers from whom we have bought things. It was really fun.The whole town is woodcarvers, but most do Catholic images. Our two are members, and probably make a killing off all the senior missionaries--well, all missionaries!
The first picture is the chapel in Paete, then of the town and area, and the woodcarvers' workshops.
Next we went down to Lumbang, which is the embroidery capital. We saw tablecloths and things that have over a year's work in them. Very beautiful, made from banana fiber, among other things. But I didn't get any pictures.
