Houses of Ceremony


The carvings and weavings of the primative people is amazing. The villages all still have these ceremonial houses that I do think are not furnished as these are, kind of like a mosque, frankly. Shoes are removed and they move in and sit on the floor to conduct their services or business. Each of the "tribes" do have their totems and artistic identities. I am impressed with this fantastic museum which is free if you want, or you can donate. We spent several hours there one rainy Sat afternoon.

One of the most interesting displays was in the geology section; the most active volanoe in this volcanic country is the one under our bay! The magma seems to be raising quite a
bit recently. Oh well, at least we are close enough that we
will no longer care of it erupts or not.
