I have to add there is only one other place in US you can find a cacao tree, although its inside is Hershey PA! we went on a similar tour there, and the thing that most impressed me was how the cacao bean will pick up the flavors of whatever is grown around it. Chocolate is very cool indeed!Renee Paj https://www.blogger.com/profile/16904747422773645980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2696248883608841507.post-11880586799766005002011-02-09T04:42:54.220-10:002011-02-09T04:42:54.220-10:00What a fantastic class!
