Cocoa UWI Day







After having gone to bed about 2ish, at school time my host mum asked me If I wanted to go with her to her place to work which is nothing exciting such as..COCOA RESEARCH UNIT! After a lazy 1st answer of "can I go the next day?" Which would be the day before leaving, I just said, why not?! Let's go. Without my belt and nothing on my feet I left the house grasping my sandals at the exit and drinking a lime juice with clove seasoned that I left -hopefully before going to bed. The girls were dressing up for a special day in school.My time there was amazing, I just reveled in wandering around there, reading all the info they have and discovering new things such the DNA process of it. Of course I tasted some, pure pure and bitter one, soooo good -not as sweet as the person who was treating with it though. I supervised the process from leaving the seeds until they become nibs and then with a heat gun into a thick tasty mass. Which was what we could see with big machines in Grenada, but here was in a low scale as they do not sell it, they just export it to the factories. So interesting my morning there.
Always surrounded by Indian influences,so many students from there, then an ayurvedic center where I shared my visions with the therapist and finally having a roti in a nice local place. My desires of India just increasing and increasing. Actually, the thought of "being prepared" has already been removed. So glad of it.Anyway, afternoon liming at home with all the kids, playing games, showing them what traveling was, what I did, my guide, my flags...they were all astounded. One of them was looking forward to having some money to do so. So so nice people in the house.
