Today we had an exciting ride up a shall ow river with a rocky bed. The BriBri men have been navigating the river since they were children, and they know every channel. They are also really strong because they have to pole the canoe (while loaded with passengers and/or goods) up and down their watery highway and through the shallow, rocky areas. It was impressive!
One of today’s highlights was the tour of the medicinal plants led by Don Guillermo. Don Guillermo also took the kids through the different stages of turning cacao into chocolate. The women who were responsible for the food at today’s lovely lunch took the crushed and milled chocolate and added condensed milk to it. As you will see from the picture, it was spoon-lickin’ good! All the NCCES and CCES kids are really doing well. They have been respectful, kind, and positive. LOVE THEM!
Hope Holland and Corey saved some of that chocolate for me.
ReplyDeleteGlad everyone is doing well and having a good time. I would not expect any (being respectful, kind and positive) they are a great group of kids.
Miss you
Holland and Corey's Mom
Thanks so much for taking them on this adventure! Did anyone save chocolate for me?
