Coconut Drink

I’m riding down the road on my bike and I stop for a minute to rest and a little girl about five years old walks up to me and starts trying to sell me everything under the sun. I walked over to her parent’s shop where I decided to try my first ever coconut drink. Her dad hacked off the top (or was it the bottom?), stuck a straw into it and, for 50 cents, I had one of the great pleasures of the tropics – drinking fresh coconut milk from a coconut through a straw.
