 Jack eating the flower that tastes like pepper- crazy!

 Charlie and Jack rubbing the Boabab Tree for luck

'Jack Fruit'- Pat and I tried a piece of this and didn't mind it right at first, then the more we chewed the more we decided we didn't like it. The texture was like slippery rubber and the taste...just not good :(

We heard a lot about this place and decided we wanted to check it out. It ended up being a pretty cool place. We took the little tour and were introduced to tons of local exotic plants and fruits we got to taste and experiment with. We ate about 5 different types of bananas, smelled all types of herbs (lemon grass,  old spice, vanilla, pepper...), ate flowers that tasted like pepper, used berries as lipstick, sausage plants, etc. It was a fun experience and the boys enjoyed it too. Complete with a deliciously fresh mango, pineapple and strawberry smoothie. Mmmm mmm :)
