"J" taking the husks (shells) off of the 'open-fire' roasted cacao beans ...
... to get ground by "A" (with Dan's help - it's a 2 person job) in the hand grinder ... and I think they get ground again to make the powder more fine ("j" is in the background). The tables they are working on are also our dining tables. The beans had gotten harvested and prepared just before we arrived.
I went to a soccer (futbol) game on Sunday. Our 'Mastatal' team is in yellow and we (I use the term loosely-I participate only by yelling my encouragement etc.) played the team from Guatamal (the town the game was played in). Maybe you can tell that the field sits on top of a hill that is not completely closed in ... which means sometimes the game is paused as one of the players elects to retrieve the ball hidden somewhere some distance down the hill. It's how it's done ... all very relaxed. This was my first soccer game I've ever watched! Loved it! We won!!
Sorry, Gary W., I wanted to bring you back a daughter, but her parents were pretty dedicated to her staying with them ... I tried (just kidding).
