mi día pasado en nicaragua

06.18.06
on my last day, chris took us to catarina,
a small famous for it's gardens, nurseries
and small tourist park that overlooks laguna apoyo.

after doing some sight seeing and souvenir purchasing, chris took us on a journey to a couple nurseries.
we were looking for a cacao plant as ginger, the pastry chef/chocolate maker, had never seen one live.














ginger and the chocolate factory




the woman who owned the nursery gave her an unripe cacao pod.
later that night, when we got back, ginger broke the pod open.
