Una Lancha a Chuao

We were told that Saturday would be when everybody came to the beach for the independence weekend and so, having spent the last two days at Playa Grande, we took a lancha out to other beaches. The area to get into the lanchas was total chaos. So many tourists trying to get into the boats that were crowded around a very small piece of shore. Insanity! The boat ride was really great though. I just love being out on the water. We played in the waves at Playa Chuao for a while before we took a bus into the pueblo of Chuao, which is unique in it's cultivation of cacao. Yes that's right they specialize in chocolate! A pueblo built for me?....I think so! The town was so small, people just sitting around doing nothing but making chocolate in their homes. I bought a dark chocolate bar that was so rich and natural! and then we ate some chocolate ice cream that tasted like a fudgecicle! yum yum yum.

After that beach we got back on the lancha to head to another one, but on our way there it started down pouring! Here we are riding along the coast in a lancha getting soaked. what fun! Later we headed back to Choroni, made pasta with veggies and then played some more Ultimate Charades.
