coconuts. sweet.

another monday. BUT this weekend was pretty sweet. went back to the beach :) it was less crowded than on Republic Day, which was soooo nice. however, the high point came sunday- yesterday.. same thing.
anyways.
rose mary had an extra dress here with her- so i got to wear it to church!! it was beautiful.. a kind of peachy color.. it had pearls and little shiny discs sewn into it in places- i'm so excited to get my dress made! sandra says the expensive ones are about $15. which means i'll get about 4... haha. but seriously.. they're so beautiful and all custom made. the seamstress comes to your house to take your measurements an then you pick the fabric and the style and she comes back a week later with a dress! woah. so excited.
THEN.
we got back from church and there was a guy walking down the street with a huge.. bowl.. bucket.. thing on his head (i'm working on my head-balancing skills... i drop a lot of stuff), and i can't tell what's inside, and franklin and sandra call him over and he pulls out one of the things and starts hacking away at the top with a machete type looking thing. he pulls the top off and hands it to franklin who hands it to me. i ask sandra what it is.. a COCONUT she says.
WHHAATTTT??!?! says i.
so i drank the milk right out of a coconut!!! amazing stuff. seriously. the inside of the coconut is kind of gross- dare i say frothy? but i like the milk a lot.

well- back to world i suppose.. just 3 work weeks left.. crazy.
