We now have baby coconut trees lining the driveway. I gathered the sprouting coconuts from under the big trees, and Tom planted them on Friday evening.

Sour sap hanging right on the tree trunk. When ripe, people around here love to squeeze the fruit for the juice, which is sort of tangy sweet. I can't think of anything quite like it. Some people also just eat the fruit, but we've tried it and found that while it tastes great, it has a lot of seeds, and the texture of the fruit is something like raw fish - not very appetizing!

Everybody at Caracol. Front row: Wilton, Zulmi, Daisy, Marixa. Middle row: Olmi, Damion, Iris, Ofelia, Marta. Back row: George, Ronald, Tom, Marge

Marge, Marta, and Olmi. We're laughing because Tom and Damion were above us, and just called us "las tres muchachas," which translates roughly to English as "the three chicks." Middle aged women who are married and have children aren't usually called muchachas!
