Coconuts and Tapa

Tuesday, December 26, 2017

Drinking Coconuts is a big deal here.  Everywhere we go, we get handed a coconut to drink.  I'm not a big fan of coconut water, but I guess it's good for you so I will drink it, and besides - I'm usually thirsty!

This was the first time I drank a coconut!



This lady was making a lot of noise that I had to go over and see what she was doing.  She was making what is called TAPA.  It's taking leaves, soaking them in water overnight, and then pounding them to make them wider.  She will then weave them into a very colorful sulu for a special occassion.
