We all know the chocolate; We love it; When we eat it we feel happy.
But do you know how to make a chocolate, and how cacao look like? Time ago I'm also didn't know any idea how cacao look like, even after visiting some chocolate museums and factories; even when by lucky chance we start to live near to trees of Cacao; in the South of country, in a wonderful place on a river and near the waterfall. Our house was small & modest, however cosy and has a awesome views to the water below, surrounded by various interesting trees and other plants, including cacao; Trees there are so many, that we recognized chocolate trees not immediately - as they small and not-remarkable on a scenes with other big-neighbors from the first sight until the tree trunks became blossoming and soon were fulfilled big fruits - Cacao. |
