On July 3rd, Angelica and her husband took me to Metepec...a place famous for handicraft. This was a church situated on top of a little hill. The interior of the church was painted with golden design and decoration on the wall...with pure gold. Couldn't take any pictures inside as there was a service going on.

"Tree of Life" is a very famous handicraft made in Metepec. A typical "Tree of Life" consists of a tree of course...Adam and Eve...angel(s)...Jesus I think...Noah's ark as well...and different animals in pairs. Depending on sizes, it could cost from $25 USD to $300 USD. Will try to upload a picture on that soon.
