My Dad (kahit short notice lang) asked us to accompany him to a short trip to Paete. He just wanted to see how the wooden cross that he ordered for our village chapel looks like na. So on Saturday morning, we drove to Paete. It was a wonderful ride going there. The sky was overcast and the weather great! We were there by 12:30 pm and decided to have lunch first at the famous EXOTIK restaurant. Here's what we ordered. Take note that we didn't order anything exotic really (compared to frogs, sawa, stingrays and the like). But the food tastes good naman. We just had ampalaya con karne, bulalo, fried maliputo, plus mais con yelo (in a bao) for dessert! After lunch, we headed to the Paete town proper and then straight to the shop of the wood carver that was commissioned by my Dad to do the altar piece for our chapel. Love this red paper-mache horse: A statue of Our Lady of Guadalupe that's bigger than life! Talk about Marian devotions... Marilyn Monroe with all those Mama Mary s
