We were just in Bohol last weekend and had the opportunity to have refreshments under this marvelous tree. It truly is amazing! We were told the teak deck cost 5M each (there were 2 of them already). The whole area begs for a wedding reception!

Cafe Lawis is now open at the ground floor of the old Dauis convent, but you may choose to sip their magnificent coffee under the equally magnificent acacia dock which is formally called Terraza de Mariveles, named after the two date palm trees which tradition says marked the spot where a miracle of Our Lady of the Assumption took place a couple of centuries ago.
The best time to enjoy Terraza Mariveles is towards sunset when the entire place transforms with the magic of nightfall. don’t fail to visit this place. Your food gets tastier when you know part of the proceeds here goes towards the preservation of Dauis’ priceless church heritage.

dizzy, there’s lots of us oldies here who love big old trees! I love the rows of huge acacia trees in UP. MM, have you ever seen a full grown baobab? Never fails to elicit a sudden yearning to hug the tree. How do they treat the flooring in that Dauis terrace to preserve the wood?

MM, seems your not alone. I love big old trees too! They seem so grand and majestic, these wonderful works of Creation draw you to them and you really cant help but be awed by its immensity and beauty.

You are right, they inspire the intellect as well as the soul, too bad most education facilities (public schools)do not have them anymore except for the established privately run schools. I’m pleasantly surprised you are into architectural conservation! We really need to conserve, preserve and maintain our very rich colonial architectural heritage, too bad there has really been no concrete effort for it. I could go on, but it would be off-topic already. Anyway, I hope more people like Mrs. Zobel would help spearhead the conservation of the church.

I love trees myself. And acacias with their widespread canopy of branches always brings back memories. In our small field in poveda, there was this big old acacia with big roots that we used to sit on and we’d spend after-class hours under its shade.
