Watsi is a village near Bri Bri, an area where almost all the residents are members of the indigenous tribes.

The little sales hut is in the foreground; the house, like all the others in the area, is on stilts to keep it cool and dry.

This family produced mostly these carved gourd-like fruits.

Fruits of a local vine (Arrabidaea chica), used to produce a red dye used in both crafts and food preparation.

When the leathery rind is cut back, the inside of a cocoa pod has a sweet/sour mushy pulp covering the almond-sized seeds. The pulp is allowed to ferment and run off before the seeds are ground to produce cocoa powder.

This tree produces the fruits the family carves. The stone in the fork is believed to prevent early fruit drop.

Sonia's sister washing some clothes. They did have running water near the house, but Sonia said the pressure was not enough for a shower. They had a flush toilet, but located in an outhouse.
