More photos from the November 27, 2005 Laguna-Tagaytay road trip.

Resorts and swimming paraphernalia are not the only products of the town of Calamba. Coconuts grow in abundance in the entire province of Laguna and one of the most common products for sale are the “sandok” made from coconut husks.

Mortars and pestles fashioned from wood are also a common product.

More products from wood–the “palo-palo”, literally meaning strike, strike, a laundrywoman’s tool for ridding wet clothes of excess water; rice spatulas; and the “sangkalan” or chopping boards.
