Coco for Coconuts

We walked through the creeks and marshy areas until we got to where the ripe coconuts were located. My mom says that they harvest the coconuts every 3 months. In this area there were a lot of dragonflies.


I think my mom was pointing to the dude scaling up the coconut trees and hacking down the ripe coconuts for my cousins to open.

In case you were wondering, this guy (not a cousin) charged 200 PHP to do this. That is less than $5 USD!!!  (currently$3.59) I can't think of anyone I know that would charge so little for so much!

Then my cousin opened the coconut for my brother to drink. So. Very. Cool.

And then my other cousins scraped the coconuts to save the meat for delicious treats.

Fresh coconut juice is the BEST! I could get used to this!
