Discover Chocolate in BelizeThis winter, Clay Gordon, author of Discover Chocolate (Gotham Books, October 2007) is leading a chocolate adventure in Belize. So far, the week long itinerary includes hands on activities such as harvesting cocoa, splitting pods and roasting and cleaning cocoa beans. There's also some snorkeling, a visit to Mayan ruins and a few parties. You'll stay at the Cotton Tree Lodge, an eco-friendly jungle resort which is co-owned by a New York Metro Discover Chocolate Meetup member. For more info click here.

Wow - How can I convince everyone that this is strictly an 'educational' trip that I absolutely must go on??
Well, It's during the holidays so good luck! LOL
Thanks Imani for posting this information about my trip in December. I already have a few people signed up! While the trip will be educational it will also be A LOT of fun. Another thing everyone will be able to do is participate in making chocolate from dried cocoa beans that we will buy from the local cocoa co-op (that's a picture of it in the original post). Jeff from Cotton Tree tells me that the howler monkeys are back in their roost outside "The Jungle House" cabana. I am going back to Belize in May so stay tuned for more info.
