I'm still getting caught up - and apparently will be for years - on travel blog posts. I think I can hundreds of posts waiting to be completed, which I guess, honestly, is representative of a life lived well (or irresponsibly). Here are some pictures of our students from the last trip to Zanzibar enjoying their first taste of fresh coconut. Steve and I were always pushing them on the students because, beyond being delicious, they're a great source of electrolytes. You can buy them on the street for a pittance, although we went straight to the source.

| Well, if you're going to enjoy some fresh coconuts, then you first need to get some fresh coconuts, which means climbing to the top of a nearby tree. Our job was not to climb the tree, but mainly to avoid the incoming coconut missiles coming to earth. |
 |
| There is some preparation, which we usually just requires a very sharp knife (which we also kept away from the students). Per usual, Steven was front and center for any activity. |
 |
| The coconuts were a tremendous success. Left to right: Emily, Claire, Caitlin, Genevieve, Montse. |
 |
| Even Max, who only grudgingly agreed to try the coconuts, ended up hungrily drinking three of them. |

And so the Sisterhood of the Travelling Students and Delicious Coconuts was born.
