Only in the Philippines....

We continue to marvel at some of the things we see here in the Philippines such as...

Poinsettas covering a hillside. These blossoms were larger than a dinner plate!

There are wood carvers sprinkled throughout our mission especially in Nueva Vizcaya. This man was carving a huge relief. It was amazing to watch him work with very simple tools to create a truly inspiring piece of artwork.

Only in the Philippines do trycies carry everything including the wood carvings. This one was loaded down with wooden trays carved to look like banana leafs.

There are open markets on almost every street corner selling the most random things. This one had hot dogs, fresh (maybe not so fresh) fish and packaged squid balls. Notice the red fabric, that was to keep the flies off the fresh (maybe not so fresh) meat.
