Guest Post: How to Crack a Coconut in Cozumel by Kristin Fant

Step 1: Jump really high and pull down a coconut

Step 2: Take pictures because you're thrilled that you actually got one of those suckers down!

Step 3: Bang it on the corner of bricks and concrete over and over and over...

Step 4: Feel a little relief that all the banging might actually be working when you see the actual coconut

Step 5: Success!! Drink the fruits coconut milk of your the boys' hard labor

Step 6: Clean up the mess

It was really fun to watch the boys crack open the coconut. In the 45+ minutes we were standing there watching them (even with my attempt to stand in the shade of a tiny pole) I got so burned!!

At least the boys can say they have cracked a coconut with their own two hands!! :)
