From the palm tree to you


Coconuts are everywhere, from time to time I see them laying in the road, one had fallen off of a moto as it is going to the market. Below is a photo of one of the older modes of transportation for coconuts. I don't know how old the bicycle is but it has seen better days.





Green coconuts have a very nice juice; the locals say it is a very healthy drink. A nurse friend said it was a very good electrolyte replacement drink. They can be purchase at most of the small shops, from vendors on bicycles and in restaurants. The one shown below is in a restaurant, when you purchase one from the bicycle, it is not as nicely carved.


In shops in the countryside they cost about $0.25 the one in the restaurant was $1.00.
