Would you like a Boca?


When Jen and I were waiting for our buntis(pregnant woman) to come for a prenatal checkup in Mercy land yesterday morning, the neighbor asked me if I would like a Boca(coconut). I said sure, thinking she was going to just give me a piece of coconut she had or something, But she asked me to come with her to get the Boca. She led me to a young couples house, told them I wanted a boca, and the young man literally climbed up the coconut tree with his bare hands and feet and chopped a boca down for meJ It was very fun to watch, and I videod it just for you guys!… but I was holding the camera in a vertical angle and don't know how to flip the video the right way :( oh well, its still fun to watch...



The coconut was very yummy! And the coconut water that was inside was way better tasting than when I have drank it from a coconut in the states...it was naturally slightly carbonated, sweet, and coco nutty!
Right before he jumps on the tree like spider man hehe!

Coconut trees are so pretty, and did you know that coconuts are actually very large, shiny and green in their true form...
