Day 3: Visit to the farm and the most amazing dessert

 We visited the other property they have across Robins Bay. It was a bit of a drive across the worst road in the world. I'll get a picture of it. It was built in 1975 by the government ....and NEVER repaired. You can see some remains of asphalt but barely. Jamaica has the most road per square mile in the world (though in rough conditions). The farm was devastated in 2004 by Hurricane Irene and has not been returned to its original, operating state. There used to be lots of fruit trees, but it is overgrown now. We climbed through the jungle in order to find and pick mangoes to bring back. Apparently, there are 20 different mango types on the farm alone. The ones we picked are long mangoes which are delicious, juicy, and less stringy to me.

Last night, Agape made a delicious dessert! These are coconut chocolate bites. They are cooked with ginger and honey in a skillet over the stove. The chocolate is actually just the seed ground and roasted. Agape said that in the U.S. she would use wax paper, but here she picked a giant banana leaf for them to cool off on. Quite the treat! We all sat around the table chatting and waiting for them to cool. I got to lick to spoon.
