Pictures of Palawan

            This really is a beautiful and unique part of the country. Here are some pictures of our area.

This is a rather unique coconut tree (left). It grew in a spiral - Kinda looks like a snake

Not sure why it grew that way.

Here's a whole herd of ducks that have been turned into a harvested rice field to feed.

To Market! To Market! How they manage to keep them in there I'll never know

This carabao just finished taking a nice mud bath

This one is still enjoying one!

Ahh! Roll to the other side!

This is the Rivera Family's two homes with the carabao wallow in the front yard.

Delivering flowers to an event of some kind.

Threshing rice. As you can see most of the work is still done by hand...

... or with carabaos 

The harvest is usually a community effort with all the farmers helping each other.

Bringing in the sheaves...

A fairly uncommon white carabao. They don't bother with nose rings here they just make a hole in the nose when the calves are young and then they can just put the rope through!

We spent a weekend with the Rizal branch and here is a picture of them. They are a wonderful group of people!

If the jeepney is full you can always ride on top! This is a very common site. They will ride for hours like this!

Sit where ever you can find a spot!

Hauling grain!

And they twain shall become one.

Two big beautiful mango trees that grew together.

We went to branch conference in Brooke's Point and here is a picture of some of the sisters...

...And some of the brethren.

Gotta be Mormons that own this tricycle!
