Today after work, CCS took the whole group on a tour of a cacao plantation. Rachel as thrilled to death. We drove back up toward Arenal - where we zip-lined - into an ecological research park. We needed to hike about 1 mile out to the cacao demonstration. It was a fabulous hike - over the longest hanging bridge in all of Costa Rica. The demonstration was really cool. We were able to see the stages of chocolate production from pod to a hot chocolate drink. It was also interesting to hear that Costa Rica no longer is a large producer of cacao due to a disease that came in and decimated the plantations.
For a more exciting narrative, maybe we should hear from Rachel...
