As we hiked to Marbo cave through a short patch of jungle. The students noticed a breadfruit tree with fruit ready for the picking. So Sonny, one of our students climbed the tree and retrieved the two bread fruit.
Here is Ginny proudly showing me one of the breadfruit. It is one of the staples in the Micronesian diet but so far I have not aquired a taste for the stuff. Peter once told me that it took 10 years to aquire taste for it - however since he had only been here 5 years, I am that was more of a guess.
Here is CeCe showing the leaf from the breadfruit tree. You don't eat it but I was impressed by the size. I don't think I ever saw a leaf so big.

Yes -- breadfruit must be an acquired taste. But in order to acquire it you have to eat it more than once and I'm not quite ready to work that hard. :-)
