A new discovery on the trail. A string of pods encased in a scalloped holder lay visible on the ground. We recognize the pods containing the seeds for the popular bojobo dolls. Looking around, we try to find out which plant is producing these pods.
We spot another string of pods hanging from a vine. Chops, with her height and her walking pole, manages to pull the pods down. A couple of the pods are opened and the seeds buffed. Marcia, Dora, and Chops show off the results.
View from the trail shows these beautiful coconut palms in perfect condition, unmolested by any storms. A stream bed runs below.
A sudden shower catches us as we near the beach.
As we stand on the beach to watch the surfs, Dora lets out a shout as she turns around and sees this fantastically perfect rainbow. In fact, a second rainbow shows to form a double rainbow. We are very happy to see this "good omen".
The three beauties on the beach.
A hermit crab enjoying these coconuts opened by some kindly soul.
Chops and Dora discover a bunch of jellyfish scattered on the beach. Any thoughts of going into the water is set aside.
A close-up of these small jellyfish with their tentacles trailing on the sand. There are literally hundreds of them in clumps on various spots on the beach. We can only guess it must be a seasonal event.
We linger on the beach looking for interesting rocks and glass shards. In the cave on the south side of the beach, we find this interesting looking rope attached to the top of the cliff. We figure that on a future hike we will plan to climb up this cliff to see where it leads to.
Dora is about to be eaten by this monster boar!
After a little bit of sustenance, we pose for this group photo before heading back up the trail to CC's house for our planned feast.
To make things more interesting, we forego the concrete steps, and climb up the boonie slope. Chops is near the top.
A quick stop at the Camacho farm, we find the star apples, which were green last week, are now ready for the picking. Marcia shows off her crop.
Marcia, Chops, and CC have also loaded up with the star apples. Chops is already eating hers.
A surprise welcome committee of Handy and Perky meets us on the trial. Back on the porch, we quickly assemble the goodies, brew the coffee, and get ready for some good snacks.
Yummmm, Yummmmm.
