Thirsty? The locals don't reach for water when they have been working hard all day in the hot sun. To refresh they drink the water from fresh green coconuts!
One way to get them down from the tree is to cut some foot holds in the trunk and climb their way up. This works for my cousin brothers Daniel and Michael.
For taller trees (or those people that can't climb them) we use bamboo to "stick" the coconuts. Here is Mama carrying the bamboo! It is long and heavy.
With a few coordinated jabs you can get some coconuts to fall down. Watch out they don't land on your head!
Now...what can be done effortlessly by Mama takes me about 10 minutes. To drink the coconut water you have to cut away the strong skin first. She and Papa guide me step by step and make sure to laugh at me the whole time!
Now drink and enjoy!! This water is better than Gatorade and free!
